A strong season of culture begins in downtown Las Vegas, led by Commissioners Tick Segerblom and William McCurdy II. The centerpiece is “My Immigrant Family,” a special art exhibition on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025, 5:30–7:30 p.m., inside the Clark County Government Center, 500 S Grand Central Parkway. Admission is free. Parking is available on site. The exhibition space is on the lower level for easy access.
Exhibition spotlight
The exhibition highlights immigrant family stories through vivid visual art and personal perspectives. Curator Marianna Romero Martinez, winner of the 2024 Best in Show award, leads the selection and presentation. Attendees can expect welcoming hosts, free food, and refreshments while supplies last. Because the evening is designed for connection, guests will have time to move through works, meet artists, and reflect on the journeys that shape Southern Nevada.
Community partnerships and purpose
Clark County is producing the exhibition in collaboration with the Consulate of Mexico in Las Vegas and the City of Las Vegas. The goal is simple and clear: celebrate contributions, create dialogue, and show how immigrant stories build a stronger region. Therefore, commissioners and partners invite families, educators, and students to experience the art together. As a result, the program turns civic space into a shared gallery for neighbors from every background.
Full calendar of celebrations
The exhibition anchors a broader slate of county programming across September and October. As part of Latino Heritage Month programming, the 6th Annual Hidalgo Cultural Event arrives on Sept. 13 at the Winchester Dondero Cultural Center with Mexican food, crafts, and cultural demonstrations. Next, “¡Celebrando Nuestra Cultura!”—Clark County’s premier Latino Cultural Festival—lands on Oct. 18 at the Government Center Amphitheater with folkloric dances, live music, cultural exhibitions, and family activities. All events are free and open to the public. For a full schedule, visit clarkcountynv.gov/latinoheritage.
Why it matters now
Art reaches people where they are. Consequently, exhibitions like this one help residents see their own experiences reflected on the walls of public buildings. The result is greater understanding and a deeper sense of belonging. Moreover, the series builds bridges between agencies, communities, and venues, which keeps momentum going beyond a single night.
Plan your visit
Arrive a few minutes early for parking and entry. Then head to the lower level for the exhibition check-in. Because the event is family-friendly, consider bringing students who are studying art, history, or civics. Finally, share the schedule with neighbors who may not know about the county’s free cultural offerings.
National context and timing
Latino Heritage Month is observed nationwide from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. It recognizes the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans with roots in Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. In Southern Nevada, these celebrations also honor local workers, small-business owners, artists, and public-service leaders whose efforts enrich daily life across the valley.
