Welcoming Is Who We Are: Building a Museum That Reflects Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the most welcoming cities in the world—and that hospitality comes from the people who call it home.In this episode of Home Means, Heather Brown sits down with Heather Harmon, Executive Director of the Las Vegas Museum of Art, to discuss how a world-class museum can reflect community, care, and belonging. They explore how Las Vegas’s culture of hospitality is shaping the museum’s vision, why museums are education-forward spaces, and how art creates human connection in a rapidly changing, technology-driven world.This conversation highlights the role of cultural institutions in working alongside schools, nonprofits, and government to strengthen community—and why art must remain central to Nevada’s future.🎧 Available January 27 on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
