HENDERSON, Nev.(Jan. 22, 2026) -The landscapes, culture and spirit of Southern Nevada take center stage in Lure of the Land: Women Artists on Southern Nevada, now on display at Henderson City Hall through March 26.

This free exhibition explores the deep connections Southern Nevada-based women artists have with the region's landscape and the way their creative practices reflect and influence it. Featuring highly-regarded and important culture creators including artists, Jennifer Kleven, xochil xitlalli, Natalie Delgado, Paula Jacoby-Garrett, Katie Hoffman, Krystal Ramiriez, Alina Lindquist, Fawn Douglas, Sierra Slentz, Emily Budd, Vanessa Maciel Napoles, Sapira Cheuk, JK Russ, Audrey Barcio and Lori McCoy, the exhibit highlights how lived experiences shape artistic expression.
