EMPOWERED: Women of Clark County
February 7 – April 25, 2026

Empowered, a collaboration between the Department of Clark County Parks and Recreation's Clark County Museum and Public Arts Office, is an exhibition exploring and celebrating the ways that women have contributed to and forever changed Clark County.

Made up of desert valleys, mountain ranges, and the world-famous city of Las Vegas, Clark County is home to many remarkable women-women who have shaped the political, economic, environmental, social, and cultural landscape of the county and of southern Nevada. Despite facing many challenges, these trailblazers seized new opportunities, advocated for change, fought for greater rights, and improved the lives of those in their communities.

We invite you to get to know these remarkable women. You'll discover leaders in aviation, education, and business. The women featured here have built communities, led strikes for better wages, organized demonstrations, secured environmental protections, and dismantled racial barriers. Their work and legacies touch all aspects of life in Clark County.

Waterworks by Casey Southard
February 7 – April 25, 2026

For this show, Southard has included both older and newer pieces, all centered on water as either a subject or a setting. Some of her recent work moves beyond tighter, more traditional depictions to include mediums with stronger design elements, such as batik and woodburning. She focuses on water as a shared resource among people, animals, and plants. Everyone needs water to survive, so it should not be abused or wasted. By highlighting the beauty of natural landscapes alongside the ways water is used in homes and recreation, she hopes the exhibition serves as both a reminder of how precious water is and encouragement to protect it. She cannot imagine a more fitting place for that message than this beautiful Nevada park.

Casey Alexander Southard earned a B.A. in Arts and Science from the University of Delaware in 1979. She has worked as a freelance artist for the National Park Service, NYC Parks and Recreation, the Sierra Club, the American Littoral Society, Friends of the Earth, and other organizations and publications.
Her work includes illustrations for field guidebooks and brochures, teaching aids, murals, and domestic animal reference materials, with a primary focus on flora and fauna. Prior to 1988, her work was published under her maiden name, Casey French Alexander.
