More info
The Nevada Museum of Art is the state’s only art museum accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and a member of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD). Founded in 1931, the Museum was co-founded by Dr. James Church, a pioneering climate scientist, humanist, and interdisciplinary scholar; the Latimer Art Club, a group of dedicated regional landscape painters; and Charles Cutts, whose gift of rare books and modest art collection helped solidify the institution’s foundation. Their shared vision—grounded in art, science, and respect for the environment—set the course for the Museum’s enduring mission. In 2009, the Museum established the Institute for Art + Environment, an internationally recognized research center and library devoted to exploring creative interactions between people and their environments.
