Fireside Chat: How Las Vegas’s Museums are Shaping Culture and Community | Tuesday, November 12, 2024

Southern Nevada is famous for its vibrant entertainment scene, but beyond the casinos and nightlife, the valley is home to a rich and growing cultural landscape. This discussion focuses on three long term operating museums—The Mob Museum, Neon Museum, and Nevada State Railroad Museum Boulder City. As Southern Nevada seeks to diversify its economy beyond tourism and gaming, these museums are playing a key role in this transformation. By offering educational and cultural experiences, they attract a different kind of visitor experience and open up new economic opportunities. The conversation explores how these institutions are expanding, their contributions to Las Vegas’s cultural fabric, and their approaches to engaging both local residents and tourists.


Fireside Chat: Envisioning the Future of Public Art | Tuesday, June 18, 2024

Public art, often misperceived as merely murals, encompasses diverse forms that significantly enhance our communities. We’ll explore inspiring examples from both the public and private sectors, discuss the roles of government initiatives like Percent for Art, and consider public art’s impact on quality of life, economic vitality, and cultural identity. Our discussion will address the challenges of public processes, the debate over art versus fabrication, and envision innovative formats for Las Vegas. Key topics include setting requirements for featuring public art in various spaces, strategies for engaging public officials, and ways to shift public perceptions to elevate our entire city through art.
