This Spring 2026, Nuwu Art + IndigenousAF will be opening a retail space in the downtown 18b Las Vegas Arts District. The space will be active + activated soon!
The Nuwu Art Gallery + Community Center (NAGCC) is a POC-owned art and activism space located at 1331 S. Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89104 (Purple building). Over the past 5 years, we've worked hard to bring the NAGCC to the Las Vegas public for all to enjoy. Before the gallery officially opened, artist Fawn Douglas displayed her MFA thesis show SOOV in early 2022. Juan Cuevas and Xochil Xitlalli followed with a pre-opening exhibit Malinalli that Summer. Nuwu Art's softly-opened with the Beginnings exhibition in Fall 2022, which featured works by the Nuwu Art Collective.
In 2023, we welcomed Justin Favela for his successful solo show Fantasía/ Fantasy. The Nuwu Art Collective also showed Bridges, which included a community art exhibition from art classes sponsored by IndigenousAF. In the Fall, Geovany Uranda, Cesar Piedra, and Scrambled Eggs curated the amazing show Hija/e/o/e(s) de Su-. Over a dozen Latinx artists shared works that explored joy, rebellion, tragedy, and mischief.
In 2024, Nuwu Art hosted its first all-womxn exhibition with Weaving Our Cultures: Forward. This show also featured over a dozen artists and was paired with an array of free public arts workshops. WOC: Forward was followed by the inaugural Native Youth Art Exhibition. This collaboration with Clark County School District and the Indian Education Opportunities Program highlighted over 20+ student artists from 12 different tribes. The Fall show featured Peso Neto - the first solo art exhibition by the talented metalworker artist Luis Varela-Rico. This show represented the net weight of progress, growth and evolution of his artistic creativity over several years.
In 2025, Nuwu Art welcomed Lolita Develay for High Roller Blooms, a solo art exhibition that explored the intersection of luxury and nature through immersive paintings. Mawnuhk or Still Here V, was the Nuwu Art Collective's Summer Exhibit, celebrating 5 years of creative liberation. Cosmic Chicano, by Brian Martinez, was an exploration of Mexican American identity through the lens of the mythical, the ancestral, and the now.
