On Board, curator and artist Nancy Good has summoned the creative talents of the Goldwell Open Air Museum’s board members and their partners. In essence, the show is a family reunion, bringing together the extraordinary community of artists that has made the desert museum a must-see for all true Nevadans.
“It’s a remarkable show, as I knew it would be,” Good says. “There’s all different types of art. Somehow, it all ties back to the desert that surrounds us, and it even [gives] little nods to Goldwell here and there.”

Last spring, Wendy Kveck taught an art class at UNLV called Finding America in Las Vegas. “I considered how the landscape and cultures of Southern Nevada have influenced artists’ work over the decades,” she wrote in a blog post for Nevada Humanities.
Teaching the course, which included field trips to the Neon Museum and Fremont Street, led her to ponder the meaning of a monument: “Is it an object, an artwork, a painting, a sculpture, a landscape, a billboard, a gesture, a poem, a podcast, an arts center, a community?” she wrote.
