Nevada Fine Arts: art supplies, custom framing and fine-art reproduction in Midtown.
Mandy Medlin first connected with Nevada Fine Arts through its classes after moving to Reno. In February 2024 she became the owner, taking over a business that combines art materials, framing and support for working artists. KOLO covered the ownership change, and Reno News & Review returned to the shop in September 2026.
Materials for making the work
The South Virginia Street store carries paints, brushes, drawing materials, papers and printmaking supplies. Its current website is intended for browsing the selection, with purchases handled in the store. That keeps the physical shop central to choosing materials and asking about a particular project.
Classes and Gallery 1301 add another dimension to the location. The gallery provides space for exhibitions, while instruction connects the shop with people learning or developing an art practice. Medlin’s own path from class participant to owner reflects that connection between the retail business and its creative community.
Framing and reproduction
Custom framing is a substantial part of the work. The September 2026 local feature describes a large choice of frame styles and a collaborative relationship with other area framers. It also reports the shop’s recognition in the publication’s local readers’ awards.
Nevada Fine Arts lists artwork photography, reproduction and large-format printing among its services. Those offerings sit between making an original piece and preparing it for display or distribution, giving an artist several related services at one address.
Customers can contact the store about materials, a framing job or reproduction needs. The combination is unusually broad: supplies to begin a piece, classes and exhibitions around the practice of art, and framing and printing once work is ready to leave the studio.
