THE CULTURAL LIFE of the original Las Vegas
is our treasure—and the Arts Council (LVAC) has
been promoting and preserving the visual, performing,
and participatory arts in this community for decades.
LVAC is committed to supporting the arts, as well the
artists who create and the community enriched by
them. We partner with and promote other organizations
such as the Nat Gold Players, the Literacy Council, and
the Pendaries Art League and we collaborate with other
local non-profits.
Northern New Mexico increasingly attracts artists and
art lovers searching for expression and celebration. We
value and nurture the interaction.
LVAC’s GALLERY 140 on historic and beautiful
Bridge Street showcases
two and three person
invitational art exhibits and
occasional themed group
exhibits. Public receptions
introduce artists to their
admirers.
The very popular PEOPLE’S FAIRE in August draws
visitors from across the state to a day-long celebration
of arts, crafts, and entertainment.
THE HISTORIC LAS VEGAS STUDIO TOUR
expands our efforts beyond walls, connecting artists
with their admirers, collectors, and the curious.
Studio tours offer opportunities to meet artists, see
their working studios, and experience a creative
environment that is not
usually open to the public.

Las Vegas, New Mexico is proud of its rich history
and diverse cultures. LVAC’s goal is to celebrate this

Las Vegas and the surrounding areas in the years ahead.
