Gardnerville, Nevada Road-Trip Spring 2026

Gardnerville 2026 Artist Series

In May 2026, The Art Box Podcast traveled to Gardnerville, Nevada, to record a special series of conversations celebrating the artists, writers, musicians, entrepreneurs, and creative community builders who help make Carson Valley such a vibrant place to live and create.

Made possible through a generous grant from the Nevada Arts Council and with the wonderful support of Main Street Gardnerville, this series allowed host Steve Dudrow to spend several days exploring the stories, passions, and creative journeys of some truly remarkable individuals. From poets and painters to bookstore owners and community advocates, each guest offers a unique perspective on the role creativity plays in shaping both our lives and our communities.

The Art Box believes that almost everything is art, and this Gardnerville series is a celebration of the people who prove that every day through their work, curiosity, and commitment to making the world a little more interesting.

Special thanks to Jen Tune, Executive Director of Main Street Gardnerville, for her hospitality, guidance, and for introducing us to the many outstanding creative voices featured throughout this series.
