The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Arts reopened November 12 with an emphasis on local collectors. In addition to pieces from the MGM Resorts art collection, the exhibit, “Always More: Collecting in Vegas,” includes some favorite works that have been amassed by Las Vegas art collectors.
“Showcasing our community and its collections seemed to be a great opportunity for the reopening,” Tarissa Tiberti, executive director of MGM Resorts art and culture, said. Tiberti curates the exhibit with Las Vegas-based art consultant Heather Harmon.
Many of the 20th century and contemporary art works will be on display to the public for the first time, featuring pieces from Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Diane Arbus, Helmut Newton and Takashi Murakami, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Locals who donated to the collection include Hunter Campbell, Ralph DeLuca, Jill and Frank Fertitta, Teresa and Lorenzo Fertitta, Robin and Danny Greenspun, Dana and Greg Lee, Sandee and Tito Tiberti, and Elaine Wynn.
The exhibition opens from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays to Mondays, through February 15. Admission is $16 for adults; $13 for students, teachers, military and seniors 65 and older; $8 for Nevada residents; and free for children 5 and younger.
Masks will be required, guests are encouraged to purchase tickets online, and physical brochures will not be available. For tickets and more information, see bellagio.com/bgfa.
