Vegas Strong



After the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, 2017, several tattoo shops around town started doing Nevada and Las Vegas tattoos and donating 100% of the proceeds to the victims and first responders. A few museum people I know have participated, and I'm sure there are many more I don't know of yet.

In addition, people across the museum community, who I mostly know from emails or quick meetings at conferences, have reached out to check on us and offer much-needed kindness and support. It's a little bit of beauty at an otherwise difficult time.
