Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art

1–2 p.m.
UNLV’s first-year and transfer students are invited to a free ice cream social at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art. Organized in partnership with the university’s First Year Experience Team, this event will be a place to make friends, talk to faculty, find out more about university life, explore the Barrick Museum’s latest exhibitions, create some art of your own, and eat a healthy number of popsicles. Bring a friend and make an autobiographical painting or drawing inspired by the artists in Contemporary Ex-votos: Devotion Beyond Medium.
Painting and drawing materials (and ice cream) will be provided. This New Student Ice Cream Social is presented by First Year Experience, New Student Orientation, and the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art. It will take place in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art lobby on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, from 1–2 p.m. Please RSVP through the online form:

ҳ| 鶹ýӳ the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
