ABOUT NEVADA PRESERVATION FOUNDATION
NPF Mission
We know that preserving our buildings is as much about our collective history as it is about strengthening neighborhoods, creating jobs, diversifying tourism, and boosting conservation.
Preserve
Our primary goal is to preserve and revitalize historic buildings, communities and places in Las Vegas and around the great state of Nevada. We work with a variety of stakeholders in accomplishing this mission, including property owners, residents, neighborhoods, developers, cultural heritage organizations, educational institutions and public officials. Retention and restoration of our built environment fosters not only a sense of place but also helps to build an engaged community.Educate
Preservation is not possible without education. It is our strongest tool. We need to understand what we are preserving and the benefits of preservation before we can be advocates. We provide educational events and opportunities throughout the year in order to foster a greater understanding of Nevada’s cultural legacy and the need to preserve it. We offer a variety of programs including films, lectures, heritage tours, community events, social meets ups, and volunteer opportunities.Advocate
We rely on a range of strategies in order to advocate for the preservation of historic buildings and places. There is no universal approach to advocacy. Each situation requires a unique plan and approach. It involves the work of many, and issues can often take years to resolve. Our efforts include responding to specific threats, assisting property owners and residents with historic designation, educating our community and professionals in preservation practices and supporting stronger preservation policies and incentives.

Our History

The Early Years
The first modern art museums emerged in the 19th century, as a way to showcase the art of the present day and to promote the values of modernity. These museums were often associated with avant-garde movements like Impressionism and Expressionism, and they featured works by artists who were considered to be outside the mainstream.

The Mid-20th Century
In the mid-20th century, modern art museums began to focus more on abstract and conceptual art, as well as on artists who were working in media like film, performance, and installation. These museums also began to engage more actively with issues of social and political relevance, and to showcase work by artists who were exploring themes of identity and representation.

The Late 20th Century
In the late 20th century, modern art museums continued to evolve, and many began to focus on global and multicultural perspectives. They also began to incorporate more digital and new media art into their collections and exhibitions.

The 21st Century
