The Las Vegas Art Museum (LVAM) and the College of Fine Arts formed a partnership in 2012 to store and exhibit the LVAM collection throughout the UNLV campus and in the Las Vegas Community. Works in the collection include artists from the Southern Nevada region as well as artists with a broader national reputation. One of the strengths of the collection is the significant representation of artists who have graduated from UNLV, many of whom have built significant careers in the art world.
