About the Salt Lake Art Show
Inspired by a changed world post-pandemic, exhibition executive Kevin O'Keefe, and his partner (and daughter) marketing executive Briana Dolan, both artists, wanted to create a new model of fine art fair that would be beneficial to artists, galleries, art collectors and buyers. Both had noted over the years that most major art shows in the US had a less than welcoming atmosphere and a high level of duplication in both galleries and artists shown.
The model conceived by the father-daughter duo would be elegant, fun, inclusive of a wide range of presented media, and welcoming to all. Buyers would be able to purchase works from an impressive selection of (1) galleries and studios from all over the world (2) the nation's top sculptors, including those fabricating large-scale works for events like Burning Man (3) curated independent artists from the region and (4) top contemporary Native American artists and sculptors.
To further delight collectors and buyers, film, music, dance and drama from the region and around the world would also be featured.

Success in Reno Tahoe
Geographically stunning, Reno lies in a sweeping valley beneath the majestic Sierra Nevada skyline. Close by and above the city is the beautifully pristine Lake Tahoe with over 80 miles of shoreline and soaring mountain vistas. Long home to a significant arts community, the region has been discovered by many talented artists and more than 200,000 affluent new residents from everywhere.
Over the past 2 years alone more than $6 billion in luxury real estate has been acquired and thousands of luxury redesigns and new residences are underway.
Launched in September 2022, the RTIA Show featured a floor plan of 50,000 square feet, hundreds of exhibitors, and thousands of buyers responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars in art sold. In 2023, RTIA Show doubled in size, exhibitors, audience and sold art and in September 2024, it finished at 160,000', 320 exhibitors from 22 countries - and nearly 5,000 collectors and buyers from 28 states and 10 countries.
In 2025 RTIA Show returns with a well curated, elegant presentation to buyers from over 200 galleries, studios, sculptors, independents, Native American artists and bespoke furniture designers from all over the globe. As always, RTIA Show features the best of Burning Man 2025 sculpture, Short film programming from the International Cordillera Film Festival of Reno Tahoe, and music and drama from University of Nevada, Reno.
