Fine & Performing Arts

The Boyd Gaming Fine & Performing Arts Program at Opportunity Village is designed to promote self-expression, social interaction and the development of peer relationships through different art forms.

Wear The Heart

Have you seen the OV Heart around Nevada? It's on license plates everywhere, and now, it's on an OV Hat that you can purchase to support Opportunity Village! The iconic OV Heart artwork was created by Sharen, an OV Artist who has a refined sense of color and focuses on abstract, balanced geometric compositions. Learn more about Sharen, the OV Heart, and the amazing partnership with Boyd Gaming in the video to the left. Thank you to Boyd Gaming for your generous support of Opportunity Village's Fine and Performing Arts Program, and for donating $10,000 to celebrate the launch of OVArtStore.org!
OV Artworks Studio is a division of Opportunity Village, born from the Boyd Gaming Fine & Performing Arts Program. Here, you can purchase fine art pieces to support OV artists, find unique gifts like our famous scarves, or stock up on thank you cards designed inside our studios. Love a print? Now you can have it placed on goods like mugs, bags, and other fun items. And all of the purchases go back to the artists who created the work and to support the Boyd Gaming Fine & Performing Arts Program at Opportunity Village.

The Boyd Gaming Fine & Performing Arts Program (FPA) serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in music, dance, theater, and visual arts. The program was designed to increase people's awareness of the arts, support their creative passions, and offer individualized and group training. The program promotes self-expression, social interaction and develops peer relationships. Participants have the opportunity to showcase their visual artwork for exhibition and sale, and to perform on the stage at Opportunity Village and community events throughout the year.

The program offers two designated tracks of programming: enrichment and education. The enrichment schedule offers a rotation of activities-based classes in all areas of the arts: dance, music, theater and visual art two times a week. This track is for people looking to gain exposure to the arts, and can be used as an introduction and assessment for future FPA classes. The education track occurs Tuesdays-Thursdays, and is a more focused, curriculum-based schedule. This track is for individuals who are committed to working in a disciplined area of performing arts or visual arts. Class schedules are created on an individual basis, with new class offerings every six months.
