Core Values of the Nevada Museum of Art

Public Trust, Stewardship, and Ethics

We uphold the highest ethical standards in governance, collections management, financial stewardship, and institutional practices. We preserve, interpret, and expand access to our collections and resources with transparency and accountability, ensuring we serve and inspire current and future generations.

Education and Engagement

We are committed to a mission of learning, education, and scholarship that yields compelling programs, exhibitions, and research, which fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Through meaningful collaboration, we amplify the impact of the visual arts and humanities within the communities we serve.

Accessibility, Belonging, and Inclusivity

We create an environment where all individuals feel welcome, represented, and valued. Through exhibitions, publications, collections, and programs, we embrace diverse participation, and foster efforts that support inclusivity, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, ability, sexual orientation, or age.

Environmental and Social Responsibility

As a leader in advancing creative practice, understanding, and interdisciplinary research in the field of art and environment, we foster experimental collaboration among artists, writers, scholars, scientists, and Indigenous communities. Through this work, we promote and implement sustainable practices, support and present artists engaged with these issues, and seek new ideas to deepen the dialogue about people’s relationship to place.

Innovation and Excellence

We embrace new ideas, technologies, placemaking, and practices that push boundaries while striving for excellence. We believe in the unlimited possibilities of artists and art museums to inspire, challenge, and enrich lives and communities. Through this work, we envision sustainable and resilient horizons where we can imagine and implement a future that brims with potential. We approach new ideas with curiosity and the drive for growth.

Collaboration

The Museum’s talented and dedicated team of employees, trustees, and volunteers are fundamental to achieving our mission and goals. We work together to foster a collaborative and encouraging environment.
