Capital City Arts Initiative–Home Means Nevada

CCAI Courthouse Gallery
885 E Musser Street
Carson City, NV

May 28 – June 30, 2021

The Capital City Arts Initiative presents Home Means Nevada at the CCAI Courthouse Gallery. This exhibition echoes famous photographs and artwork from the late 1800s and early 1900s that helped spur protections for places like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. Like the state’s song, Home Means Nevada, this is a place of inspiration for the photographers who find beauty in her rugged geology and starry skies. 

Nevada is a state of spectacular geography, natural features, and poignant history. It is defined by its public lands — conservation areas, wilderness and wildlife refuges, national forests, rangelands, watersheds, and a national park — all of which provide diverse benefits to Nevadans and the travelers who visit.

This show features work by 15 photographers and highlights some of the treasures found on federally managed lands across the state, from bighorns to Burning Man, and to Gold Butte’s ancient rock art and petroglyphs. Learn more
