Mission

The Association was formed in 1950 to pursue the following mission:
The Nevada Artists Association is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing visual, creative art to be shared with the community.
NAA encourages a high standard of art through an ongoing series of
art shows in our gallery for our members and guest artists while offering workshops and outreach programs.

NAA Notable Changes and Accomplishments in Recent History
These accomplishments and achievements were all possible from the efforts and donations of time and money from many members, board members and individuals supporting the arts.
