Portal of Evolution

The Black Rock Arts Foundation (BRAF) is a non-profit organization based in Reno, NV that supports and promotes community, interactive art, and civic participation. They are known for their dedication to showcasing large-scale sculptures and installations, such as the Portal of Evolution by artist Bryan Tedrick, which is currently on display at Reno's City Plaza. The sculpture invites visitors to step into a cocoon-like enclosure and reflect on their own potential, while being surrounded by organic, floral shapes and a massive, delicate butterfly.

Working closely with the City of Reno, BRAF has established a permanent setting for rotating exhibits of large-scale sculpture at Reno's City Plaza. This central location in downtown Reno serves as a vibrant space for community events and gatherings, and the exhibition of Portal of Evolution enhances the civic space by transforming flat concrete into an interactive community art project. Through their collaboration with the Civic Art Program of the Black Rock Arts Foundation and the City of Reno, BRAF continues to celebrate the community's cultural life and encourage artistic excellence.
