Lure of the Land: Women Artists on Southern Nevada explores the deep connections Southern Nevada-based women artists have with the region's landscape and the way their creative practices reflect and influence it. Featuring makers, administrators, mothers, activists, teachers, architects and healers, the exhibit highlights how lived experiences shape artistic expression. These artworks provide new lenses through which to look at our land and understand it more deeply.
For view January 22 to March 26, 2026
   
Co-curated by the current Visiting Assistant Professor in Art History at UNLV, author and educator Hikmet Sidney Loe, Lure of the Land builds on her ongoing work examining the changeable nature of the earth and addresses our perceptual and cultural constructs of the land.
