Good News! There is a "new" museum downtown.
The Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art will be opening at its new downtown location on September 25, with a members-only reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., thereafter, it will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. The Museum, located on the second level of downtowns’ Neonopolis, is adjacent to the new Southern Nevada Center for the Arts.
The Arts Center will contain dozens of working studios for local artists. Painters, potters, sculptors, fabric, mixed media and art jewelers are just some of the media work of the artists who have already rented space in the new Art Center. The public will be be able to browse the Art Center, and meet with artists and purchase their work.
The Museum will showcase a variety of artistic styles and periods. The first exhibitions include “20th Century Modern Masters: Works on Paper", “The "Barbizon School " of paintings and works by internationally acclaimed Polish artist, Andrzej Gieraga. Museum admission will be $3 per person, children under 12 admitted free with accompanying adult.
In addition, a Museum sponsored exhibit entitled "Neo Action Abstraction" will be featured in the main gallery of the Southern Nevada Center for the Arts. The exhibit includes several local and regional artists who work in this free-flowing style. Abstract paintings by Palermo, Jenik, Constantine, Bailey, Wardle and Griesgraber build upon the works of earlier abstractionists, while adding their unique identity.
With the combination of the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art and The Southern Nevada Center for the Arts the Neonopolis is certain to become an important center for the visual Arts.
