The Nevada Museum of Art has deep roots when it comes to art and environment.

With art collections ranging from Native American baskets and nineteenth century landscape paintings, to Altered Landscape photography and a burgeoning contemporary art collection, the Museum recognizes that what sets it apart from other institutions is this unique focus area. Beginning in 2009, the Museum decided to dedicate its curatorial, scholarly, and research endeavors to the study of art and environments.

Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary
1265 Deerlodge Road
Reno, NV 89506
(775) 970-3111
http://www.animalark.org/

 From the very beginning, Animal Ark has strived to provide a safe haven for non-releasable wildlife. The facility takes in disadvantaged animals onto its 70 acres of land, fashioned to make them most at home.  Exhibits are designed to be comfortable, spacious, and appropriate for each animal that the Ark agrees to take in, and are constructed with the highest quality materials and workmanship possible. While providing comfortable space for the animals, these exhibits are also designed to enhance the visitor’s experience. Since many of Animal Ark’s residents are predators and therefore elusive and shy in nature, this provides a rare opportunity for the public to get very close and be able to observe the animals. Part of Animal Ark’s commitment to our resident wildlife is not just providing food and shelter, but also a stimulating and rich habitat.

Programs including on-going field trips serve as opportunities to educate the public about wildlife through exhibits and demonstrations.
