The Fine Arts programs include Art & Art History, Dance, Music, and Theatre and are designed for both young aspiring artists and lifelong learners. We feel that we have the best full-time and part-time instructors in the business. The CSN Art & Art History Program offers courses for majors, non-majors and the general population of students. Classes range from art history to digital imaging and everything in between. Our Theatre Program provides fine training in both the acting and technical areas, and mounts several productions each year. The CSN Dance Program is an internationally acclaimed organization that tours regularly and offers tremendous opportunities for learning. In the Music Program, be sure to check out our Associate of Arts degree in Fine Arts with a Music emphasis, as well as our brand new Music Business and Technology Certificate. We also offer just about every imaginable type of ensemble, from vocal jazz to percussion, chamber chorale to concert band, symphony orchestra to jazz ensemble. Any of the courses in Art & Art History can fulfill the Fine Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences requirements of most AA, AS, AAS, degrees at CSN. Many of the courses in Dance, Music, and Theatre can also fulfill the requirements, check with your advisor or contact the individual programs for more information. Las Vegas is an exciting and unique community, which just happens to be the home of some of the finest musicians, actors, dancers, and theatre technicians, artists, and art historians anywhere in the world. At CSN, you will have the opportunity to work with many of these great professionals, both in the classroom and on the stage.

We're excited to share a first look at "Frameworks", a new exhibition by artist, Leah Smith, now open at the CSN Artspace Gallery.

Bringing together intricate ink drawings and fiber-based sculptures, Smith's work explores the connections between body, mind, process, and material. Inspired by weaving, textiles, and the act of making, Frameworks invites viewers to consider the structures that shape how we think, create, and experience the world.

Amanda Langer: "Material Mutualism"
October 9 – November 19, 2026

The CSN Fine Arts Gallery is pleased to present "Material Mutualism", a solo exhibition by Wisconsin-based sculptor Amanda Langer. Through striking combinations of materials, Langer explores relationships between humanity and the natural world, asking how differences can function not as sources of conflict, but as complementary strengths.

Drawing from her background in sculpture, ecological restoration, and native plant landscaping, Langer's work invites viewers to consider themes of connection, coexistence, and mutual benefit across both human and environmental communities.

The CSN Artspace Gallery is proud to present "Leah Smith: Frameworks", an exhibition of ink drawings and fiber-based sculptures that explores the relationship between body and mind.

Drawing inspiration from weaving, textiles, handwriting, and the history of human making, Smith's work examines how we think through our hands, tools, and materials. Through intricate drawings and sculptural forms, Frameworks invites viewers to consider the connections between structure and spontaneity, rigidity and flexibility, and the frameworks that shape our understanding of the world.
