As a new staff member of the Nevada Museum of Art, Claire Munoz has been very busy building a bridge between our museum and the youth of our community.
In March, Claire organized the first Teen Art Night, an event co-sponsored by the Holland Project on Teens. This fun-filled evening featured live music, food and workshops attended by over 300 students in Northern Nevada. Check out the “Nevada Art Teens” Facebook page for photos of this event and additional information on the Museum’s teen activities.

In addition to the teenagers, Claire is also reaching out to the children and teachers in our area. Over the past few months, she has attended several fairs including the Gifted and Talented Fair, Tune in to Kids Fair and the Social Studies Fair along with Boys & Girls Clubs and Scout Troops. Through these events, she has had the occasion to speak with thousands of community members promoting school programs and teacher training classes provided by the Museum.
To follow up on these contacts, Claire has launched a monthly newsletter, delivered via e-mail to over 3,000 local teachers explaining educational opportunities, tour and bus information and other relevant education materials.
Thanks to Claire and the Outreach Program, we can look forward to future generations passionate about art. What better way to secure the future of the Museum than through the hearts of our youth.
