What's Happening
UNLV Visiting Artists, Designers, and Art Historians
Sponsored by the Department of Art, the College of Fine Arts, and community partners
The UNLV Department of Art is fortunate to host cutting edge artists, designers, and art historians. These inspiring creative leaders visit the campus to engage with students in the classroom, teach workshops, share their research, facilitate discussions, and offer critique.

UNLV president will highlight exceptional students at commencement who embody the academic, research, and community impact of the graduating class.

The biannual Open Studios is an opportunity for the community to visit the graduate studios and meet the artists.

The Barrick Museum is the only institution in Nevada to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious award.

This year's inductees include legendary songstress Dionne Warwick, iconic musician and performer Paul Anka, prima ballerina Cynthia Gregory, and actor and educator Michael Tylo (posthumously).
