"Tilting The Basin" at the Nevada Museum of Art continues the needed conversation of how contemporary art created in Nevada differ when it comes out from the upper and lower regions of the state. KNPR talks with exhibition curators  JoAnne Northrup and Michele Quinn on what they found from those committed to be known as national artists . . . who happen to be from Nevada. That's a shared goal. What makes the two art fronts different is also compelling.  The broadcasted interview is now up at KNPR.
​

“Michele Quinn and I, from the start, thought of this exhibition as a way of more closely knitting our communities together,” Northrup said.

She said artists in Northern and Southern Nevada have somewhat different styles that are informed by the environments they live and work in.

​“I would say a lot of Las Vegas artists’ work is informed by culture, whereas many of the Northern Nevada artists’ work is informed by nature,” Northrup said.
