Art Trail
Enjoy Ely’s eleven block outdoor Art Trail telling the story of our historic theme “Where the World Met and Became
One.”
One can follow the Art Trail starting with any mural or sculpture, but we suggest starting at the White Pine Public
Museum with a tour of this worthwhile facility. Pick up a map of the Art Trail, and walk/bike/drive this exciting journey.
At the Museum, you will be able to enjoy the 4th of July Mural and read why the 4th has is a huge celebration in Ely.
Continuing on the Art Trail, you will be led to over 20 outstanding art pieces and the signage will unveil our rich
history. The Trail includes a sculpture park (be sure to walk the labyrinth), and tromp l’oeil, montage, abstract
impressionism, historic interpretation, and architectural murals.
While on the path stop and experience Ely’s old fashioned soda fountain, tour the courthouse with its historic
photographs, see the retro gas station, shop at our stores and community mercantile, and enjoy restaurants and
historic gaming facilities.
This Art project was undertaken in 1999 by the Ely Renaissance Society, a 501(C)3 Non-Profit group of volunteers
who recognized the richness of Ely’s history and chose to tell its unique history through giant canvases of art and
sculpture placed in an outdoor domain accessible to all. Prints and postcards of the murals, books of history, and art
are sold to benefit the Ely Renaissance Society at Economy Drug, and the General Store at the Renaissance
Village. The Garnet Mercantile showcases local artwork including painting, photography, pottery, and jewelry.
The lessons that formed a united community from a variety of ethnic backgrounds have become an ever visible
story of accomplishment, pride, and hope. This effective project has had wide recognition within Nevada as well as
globally with the 2004 Global Mural Conference hosted here. We invite you to become a participant on this unique
Art Trail.
