About the Exhibition

Unity: Community, Family, and the Future is an exhibition of images and poetry created by innovative thinkers throughout Nevada to shine a light on the need to come together as a community made up of diverse people, cultures, and identities. Unity is a concept that has long shaped our national story as an integral part of our shared traditions and a hallmark of our many cultures. This exhibition examines unity as a concept that helps us build a shared future for our families, communities, and nation despite our many differences.

Unity: Community, Family, and the Future will features the following artists: Ben Aleck, Janine Heidi Barlese, Montana Black, Antoinette Cavanaugh, Fawn Douglas, Linda Dufurrena, Shan Michael Evans, Jack Malotte, and Joseph Watson. Poets featured include: Angela M. Brommel, Carolyn Dufurrena, Harry Fagel, Shaun T. Griffin, Rodney Lee, and Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña.

The exhibition is open to the public for viewing by appointment only Tuesday - Thursday from 1 - 4 pm and until 9 pm PDT the first Friday of the month at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery, 1017 South 1st Street, #190 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In-person viewing will close on July 27, 2022. Contact Bobbie Ann Howell, Program Manager at Nevada Humanities, at bahowell@nevadahumanities.org or 702-800-4670 to make a viewing appointment.

This exhibition is a part of Nevada Humanities’ A More Perfect Union initiative, where Nevada Humanities has been asking at public programs across Nevada, “What does it take to build and belong to a more perfect union?” This initiative fosters an appreciation for the connections between the humanities, our community stories, and a commitment to understanding the founding of the country in all its complexities.
