The art scene is growing very quickly, with new events and galleries added everyday, including the world famous First-Friday in the downtown arts district. Las Vegas art has a distinct Southwest flair, but the nature of the this city brings in varied and interesting influences, especially Hawaiian and Asian. Also, due to the beauty of our local terrain, photography has become a major art form and can be found in more and more galleries. Be sure to check out local the Downtown art galleries, as well as local libraries and the Springs Preserve with the Nevada State Museum.
