关于我们

Founded in 1931, the Nevada Museum of Art (the Museum) is the only art museum in Nevada accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). Co-founded in 1931 by Dr. James Church, an early climate scientist, humanist, and lover of art, the Museum in its early days was run by a small group of outdoor landscape painters. As a result, the Museum has long understood the importance of examining how humans interact with their natural, built, and virtual surroundings. Designed by internationally renowned architect Will Bruder, the present Museum facility opened in 2003 at the heart of Reno’s downtown Liberty district. The four-level, 70,000-square-foot building is inspired by geological formations in northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, and serves as a visual metaphor for the institution’s scholarly focus on art and environment. The institution’s identity continues to be shaped by the geographic location and environment. The Museum’s proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and the surrounding Great Basin desert region places it at the nexus of both awe-inspiring scenery and a rapidly changing landscape. It is an ideal place for dynamic conversations about the ways that humans creatively interact with environments. This idea is reflected in the Museum’s permanent collection, which is divided into four thematic focus areas: the Robert S. and Dorothy J. Keyser Art of the Greater West Collection, the Carol Franc Buck Altered Landscape Photography Collection, the Contemporary Art Collection, and the E. L. Wiegand Work Ethic in American Art Collection. Mission We are a museum of ideas. While building upon our founding collections and values, we strive to offer meaningful art and cultural experiences, and foster new knowledge in the visual arts by encouraging interdisciplinary investigation. The Nevada Museum of Art serves as an educational resource for everyone.

    Art and Design That Inspires: “Our cities can be like communal gardens. What if instead of going to the grocery store for an apple, you just walked outside your door?” Artists David Allen Burns and Austin young of Fallen Fruit transform urban spaces through captivating installations and by planting gardens in public areas for everyone to enjoy.?One of their instillations, which we recently experienced at the Nevada Museum of Art, pushes the boundaries of how we perceive and use public spaces, creating more interactive and community-focused environments. At the museum, they’ve created an edible community garden, inviting everyone to explore and harvest from the flourishing plants. Complementing this is a stunning installation in the lobby: a bold floral wall mural with beautifully coordinated drapery.?Check out some pictures of this and other instillations around the world.??https://fallenfruit.org/ Do you think art has the power to bring communities together? #FallenFruit #ArtAndDesignThatInspires #ArtThatInspires #CommunityGarden #PublicArt #UrbanArt

In the main gallery, Sagebrush and Solitude: Maynard Dixon in Nevada showcases the unforgettable landscapes of the American West where wild horses gallop beneath towering cottonwood trees. ??
