Whether it is music, art, or theater, performances and education can be found year-round. Incline Village is a mecca for theater and music. The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor State Park includes the Monday Night Showcase Series highlighting music from the Reno Jazz Orchestra, the Reno Philharmonic, and the Sierra Nevada Ballet. Classical Tahoe brings world-class musicians to an amazing pavilion on the campus of UNR at Lake Tahoe. Music can be found on Incline Beach Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the summer. Year-round, the Tahoe Symphony Orchestra, Tahoe TOCCATA, performs at various venues in the area, and live music can be heard at local favorite spots Alibi AleWorks Incline Public House, Bowl Incline, Glasses Wine Bar, and the Crystal Bay Casino.

Many artists and photographers live in Incline Village and galleries can be found in restaurants, Mountain Workspace, and on the UNR at Lake Tahoe campus.

For those who want to enhance their own artistic skills, private and semi-private fine-arts workshops are held at the Holman Arts Center, Incline Village Music, Sounds of Tahoe, and other private studios.
