AUGUST 2026
WE ARE ON SUMMER BREAK
BY APPOIINTMENT IN AUGUST see the NEVAmuseum's collection:  NEVA was founded on the conviction that important artistic voices frequently emerge outside traditional academic, commercial, and institutional pathways. The selection on exhibit demonstrates its intent to preserve, celebrate, exhibit, and support visionary, self-taught, the outsider.

This is a good month to come in and speak to our staff, hear oral histories, and see individual works up close, speak about getting invovled, tour our shared, subsidized studios designed to carry on our mission to support and represent artists living with neurodiverse conditions.
