Despite a population of three million people, Nevada has only one accredited art museum to serve its citizens. As such, we have both urgent and ongoing needs that must be addressed to accommodate the education and research programs that benefit the state’s rapidly growing population.
To meet these needs, we have implemented a strategic plan with three goals:
- Establish an Education and Research Center to serve students, educators, scholars, and the community.
- Build upon the established endowment to ensure financial stability and operating support.
- Increase the number of galleries dedicated to the permanent collections.
The Charles and Stacie Mathewson Education and Research Center will increase access to the Museum’s extensive art, archive, and library collections, while doubling capacity to serve pre-K to 12th grade students, educators participating in professional development, and scholars undertaking academic research.
