The Desert as Collaborator: The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum's Next Chapter

After spending nearly 70 years in a private family collection, "Fourth of July" (1957), a striking work from Rita Deanin Abbey's celebrated "Arches National Monument Series," has returned to the Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum in Las Vegas. More than the return of a single artwork, the painting symbolizes a renewed commitment to preserving, sharing and advancing the work of one of Nevada's most accomplished and influential artists.

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society Gathers at The Doberman Drawing Room

Step inside an evening that blends memory, music, and modern Las Vegas elegance. In this reflective blog, we revisit the newly reimagined Doberman Drawing Room, once the beloved Artifice, through a night curated by United Way of Southern Nevada’s Passport to the City series. From the soulful resonance of live piano, cello, and vocals to the intimate conversations, the experience captured how Las Vegas continues to evolve while honoring the spaces and stories that shaped it.

United Way of Southern Nevada Presents a Night of Tributes, Thanks and Tocqueville

“If men are to remain civilized, or to become so, the art of associating together must grow and improve in the same ratio in which the equality of conditions is increased.” — Alexis de Tocqueville. No words were better written by the French historian and political scientist Alexis de Tocqueville, who came to America nearly 200 years ago to study prisons.

Women United

When it rains in Las Vegas, most of us hesitate to get into the car and drive through the valley, but I did so the other day and am so grateful I had. I was pleased to meet the dynamic Dana Boldizsar, Manager of Fund Development and Women United for United Way Southern Nevada (UWSN).
