Description
“The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum is not just a space to view art; it is a venue where visitors can truly connect with the creative spirit of a remarkable artist.” ~ Laura Sanders, executive director.
Abbey moved to Las Vegas in 1965 to teach at UNLV, where she was among the first art professors. She remained there for 22 years, and the university honored her in spring 2024 by inducting her into the College of Fine Arts Hall of Fame. Abbey dedicated her life to exploring and expressing the beauty of the Southwest through her art. Her diverse work, which she displayed at shows around the world, spans painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, porcelain, and stained glass, often drawing inspiration from the desert landscapes she loved.

I love this museum. The museum is in a residential area and the buildings were a surprise. They were huge and magnificent. And, then the art… Abbey was multi-talented and prolific. You would swear the museum showcased many different artists instead of just the one. I would have loved to take many of the pieces home. I did buy one and am very happy to have gotten it. Go visit. You will not be disappointed.

Loved the tour of the artist's studio. One of the unique aspects of art that this museum can showcase is the artist's process and evolution over time. As much as I enjoyed looking at the various media she used, it would have been nice to approach as she might have, as an art professor. How did her work start? How and where did it evolve, and why? What motivated Rita to do so much variety, versus say, a Georgia O'Keeffe, who was pretty stale/consistent in what she did?
I would seriously suggest expanding on her studio as a focal point for visitors. It was fascinating to see.
