Our inaugural Arts & Culture event on September 26, 2015, set the bar high with a reading by Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States, at Nevada State College. Since then in its role as a community cultural center for southern Nevada, the Office of Arts & Culture has offered a rich variety of free public programs at the college such as guided tours of the Nevada State College Permanent Art Collection, poetry readings and workshops, musical performances, film viewings, lectures, seminars, workshops, and arts-based faculty development such as an exploration of the arts as a healing modality.
This call for art will post on Monday, March 9, 2020. Curated by Angela M. Brommel, Executive Director of the Office of Arts & Culture, this exhibition is inspired by Nevada State's Common Read, Educated by Tara Westover.

This exhibition was curated by Dr. Peter La Chapelle and Ms. Angela M. Brommel as part of The Artist at Work Series.In anticipation of the 20th anniversary of the release of the Coen brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou! in 2020, this exhibition features recordings, political memorabilia, photographs, and other items documenting the colorful 140-year-old connection between country music and politics. Dr. La Chapelle personally collected these materials over the last ten years while at work on his book, I'd Fight the World: A Political History of Old-Time, Hillbilly, and Country Music.
