A child is drawing a picture of two human figures with large eyelash'd eyes and huge red smiles. Their hair is blue. One of them wears a yellow dress cross-hatched like an ice-cream cone. The body of the other figure is obscured by the child's hand and we can't see its clothes. This is a bright, happy drawing in an archetypal kid-like style.

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.
