We Empower Organizations That Power the Arts.
The Nevada Arts Council community arts development program supports Nevada arts organizations, community nonprofits, municipalities, and other public institutions. We help these groups become more effective, profitable, and sustainable organizations so they can better provide art experiences.
We focus on these areas to strengthen Nevada arts organizations:
- Improve Nevada’s arts and culture infrastructure
- Expand the skill set of Nevada’s creative community
- Help arts organizations work smarter, not harder
- Offer networking opportunities
- Increase Nevadans’ access to the arts
