- Las Vegas Art Museum (LVAM) started as the Las Vegas Art League, founded by Lucile Bruner, Vivian Woods, and Helen Wooley Willis in 1950; in 1974 the Las Vegas Art League was renamed and incorporated as the Las Vegas Art Museum, the first fine art museum in Southern Nevada; LVAM continued to operate out of the Lorenzi Park buildings until 1995 when the City of Las Vegas terminated their lease; the museum's collections were temporarily loaned to the West Charleston campus of the Community College of Southern Nevada until 1997; at that time, the Las Vegas Art Museum moved into the Sahara West Library/Fine Arts Museum; LVAM operated out of this location until 2009 when it was forced to close due to lack of funding; a majority of the collection is now housed at the Marjorie Barrick Museum on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas ( (Guide to the Las Vegas Art Museum records, 1952-2009, via WWW, viewed July 18, 2022) )
