RPRFM Music Education
RPRFM is currently building out a new music education program in collaboration with Note-able Music Therapy Services. Our goal is to offer affordable music lessons for all starting in the Summer of 2025.
As we develop this program, we would like to hear from you! Do you have ideas on how to make our classes the best ever or would you like to become an instructor? Do you have a child that might be interested in the program? Send us an email and help us create this new offering from the RPRFM 501c3 non-profit.

NG is a space for new bands to play their first gig and veteran bands to try out new material. The Neutral Ground event has recently been awarded a Nevada Arts Council Grant! Neutral Ground will now be totally FREE until May 2025! Thank you so much Nevada Arts Council.

News & Updates
Our 2024 community survey is here! Help us make our non-profit the best ever! With your feedback we’ll make changes to the Fleas and our programs to better serve our community!
Neutral Ground Grant
In January of 2024, Neutral Ground received an Equity Expansion Grant from the City of Reno that allows us to host three free Neutral Ground sessions from January - March 2024. We’re happy to use these funds to pay bands, offer free admission, hire a videographer and generally contribute to the Reno DIY art and music scene.
Our 2023 community feedback survey is now live! We would love your input so we can continue to evolve and grow! Fill out this simple survey here and help us shape the RPRFM non-profit!
RPRFM Non-Profit Announcement
As of March 2023, the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market is an independent non-profit 501c3 organization. We are no longer part of The Generator Inc maker space non-profit.
What does this mean?
In 2018, The Reno Punk Rock Flea was founded by Kadillac Kim and Jessi Sprocket as an annual fundraiser for The Generator. As the community and the RPRFM event grew a new dream was born: to become our own nonprofit organization, to do more events, and eventually purchase our own music and community venue. We are really excited that we have taken the next step to realize this dream by becoming our own non-profit with our original flea crew spearheading this move!
As an independent non-profit, the only funding we receive is through our events as well as donations and sponsorships directly to the Flea. The Punk Rock Prom in late March 2023 was our first fundraiser event as our own RPRFM non-profit. Financially we are starting back at square one with extremely limited funding but we know through the love of the Flea and your support we will grow and evolve and hopefully, one day realize our ultimate venue ownership goal.
Thanks for your continued support and know that we are working really hard to bring you the best possible events that give back to the community and showcase all of the incredible art and talent that Reno has to offer.
Want to get involved with our new non-profit? We are currently growing our volunteer family. Visit our volunteer page for more information.
