SUMMARY:Transformers: Reshaping Form and Meaning	Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:TRANSFORMERS: RESHAPING FORM AND MEANING\nThe artists in TRANSFORMERS: Reshaping Form and Meaning demonstrate resourcefulness in their selection and manipulation of materials to illustrate their ideas. They stockpile readily-available items such as art store and hardware supplies\, fabrics\, repurposed objects from thrift stores\, and even natural wool fleeces shorn from Nevada flocks.  The multitude of ways in which these artists transform everyday objects is the focus of this exhibition. \nDuring the process of curating the selection of artworks for this exhibition\, conversations with the artists covered working practices in their current studio arrangements. Most described their studios as often being in a process of transition. Unlike some states that have a long history of industry and the associated structures\, Nevada does not offer a large number of unused warehouse spaces to artists for long-term\, low-cost lease. Although many of the exhibiting artists are known for creating large-scale three-dimensional sculptural pieces and installations\, they have adapted their practices to utilize smaller studio spaces in conjunction with outdoor areas. Resources of equipment and space provided by institutions have also been integral in allowing Nevada artists to continue to develop their individual practices. \nBuilding on the tradition of taking art to the people\, this Nevada Touring Initiative exhibition travels to a number of venues throughout the state where viewers either discover these artists for the first time or encounter new work and insights from already familiar artists. All of the artists included in this exhibition have been developing their careers over a number of years and have had their work recognized with a Nevada Arts Council Artist Fellowship Award. \nExhibition artists include Sarah Lillegard\, Sculpture\, Reno/Doyle; Gig Depio\, Painting\, Las Vegas; Dave Rowe\, Sculpture\, Las Vegas; Miguel Rodriguez\, Sculpture\, Las Vegas; Justin Favela\, Sculpture\, Las Vegas; Pasha Rafat\, Sculpture\, Las Vegas; Nick Larsen\, Mixed Media\, Reno/Columbus. \nCURATED BY\nJK Russ\nFor the Nevada Arts Council \n \n\nBearing the Burden\, Sarah Lillegard\, fiber\, pantyhose\, waxed thread\, rope\, 2018\nFloor Nacho Study\, Justin Favela\, tissue paper and glue\, 2017\nSteely Mike\, Miguel Rodriquez\, ceramic\, 2020\n\n  \nTransformersGalleryNotesRF \n

SUMMARY:Geographical Divides: Finding Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:GEOGRAPHICAL DIVIDES: FINDING COMMON GROUND\n\nGeographical Divides: Finding Common Ground examines Nevada unique visual culture. It is a state labeled with cultural myths like “Area 51\,” “The Biggest Little City in the World” and “Sin City” and one that commands the imagination of Postmodernism from the architecture of Las Vegas to the proliferation of Burning Man Festival held once a year. It is comprised of two major metropolitan communities— in the north and south— divided by 300 miles of vast desert. Nevada’s art communities are not separated by distance of travel alone. There are notable differences among artists throughout the state in what is important in their work\, most of which connects with where they live. This traversal of Nevada has also led to the realization of how little dialogue there is between artists of the two dominant communities—Reno and Las Vegas—not to mention the artists living in remote territories of the Nevada outback that are sometimes overlooked.  Nevada artists live on different sides of a geographical divide\, however those lines are drawn. \nCalling upon the printmaker’s sense of community\, the sixteen artists featured in Geographical Divides: Finding Common Ground were invited to join in a series of collaborations that would explore these geographical and cultural differences in Nevada\, if such differences truly exist. The assembly of printmakers—eight from the north\, eight from the south—produced two prints from each collaboration. Each artist produced an initial plate that was sent to their collaborating partner for further surface and conceptual additions\, and then returned for completion. Visually exploring connections and disconnections between southern Nevada and northern Nevada cultural attitudes\, aesthetics and geographical distinctions—these sixteen artists communicated and visually responded to each other’s unique economic\, environmental\, political and social settings—further dissecting this notion of a splitting geography and/or communion of Nevada’s polarities. \nCollaborating artists include: Maria Arango\, Las Vegas/Lynn Schmidt\, Reno; Erik Beehn\, Las Vegas/Nolan Preece\, Reno; Bobbie Ann Howell\, Las Vegas/Galen Brown\, Carson City; Daryl DePry\, Las Vegas/Sharon Tetly\, Carson City; Keith Conley\, LasVegas/Sidne Teske\, Tuscarora; Anne M. Hoff\, Las Vegas/Vicki LoSasso\, Reno; Jeanne Voltura\, Las Vegas/Candace Nicol\, Reno; and Juan D. Varela\, Las Vegas/Ashlea Clark\, Reno. \nCURATED BY\nAnne M. Hoff\, College of Southern Nevada\, Las Vegas\, & Candace Nicol\, Truckee Meadows Community College\, Reno \nGALLERY NOTES BY\nFred Sigman\, Art Historian\, Las Vegas \n  \n

SUMMARY:Find Your Folklife: We are the Folk\, All of Us
DESCRIPTION:FIND YOUR FOLKLIFE\nwe are the folk\, all of us\nThe Nevada Arts Council’s Folklife Friends and Neighbors Initiative is about you—your family\, your neighbors\, your friends\, your community. It’s also about us—who we are as Nevadans navigating the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century. \nFolklife\, folk arts\, and folklore all spring from cultural identity\, which comes from belonging to a social group. Family heritage—national or ethnic—often informs a person’s sense of self. Cultural identity may also derive from language\, gender\, religion\, age\, occupation\, and locality or sense of place. Folk traditions are typically shared in informal ways and passed from one person to another by word of mouth\, imitation\, or observation. \nCulture is something we share with others in a social group. It’s our folklife: our common values and beliefs\, the creative ways we express identity in a group\, the knowledge we share\, the objects that hold significance and meaning\, the activities we engage in as a community. Most people belong to many different “folk groups” or communities. Every person is unique. Depending on where you are and who you are with\, you may express different aspects of your own cultural identity.  Join us in a quest to “find your folklife”—and share on social media with the hashtag #NVFolkFAN. \nOver the past three years we have been photographing Nevadans—your friends and neighbors—as they appear when representing cultural identity and as they appear in their everyday lives at home\, on the job\, or enjoying recreational activities. That work is represented in the 22 “lenticular two-flip” panels of this exhibition.  To find out more about lenticular art\, click here.

SUMMARY:Something About Comfort
DESCRIPTION:Something about Comfort: A “home” themed show curated by UNRtists \n\n\nMcKinley Gallery East in the McKinley Arts & Culture Center is proud to host the UNRtists Student Art Club in their exhibition “Something about Comfort.” \nUNRtists Student Art Club at the University of Nevada\, Reno aims to help students engage with art\, regardless of major. The club helps facilitate a space where students can come practice art\, as well as engage in various artistic media that they may not have had access to before. The club also endeavors to help students connect with the Reno art community and gives students a chance to broaden their horizons outside of the space of their personal art practice. \n“Something about Comfort” is about the ubiquitous and disparate ways we think about the word “home.” For many\, home can be a physical place. However\, for others\, it can be a person\, feeling\, or concept; it can signify loss\, memory\, and nostalgia. These works aim to unpack the various ways we think about the concept of “home” as something that is a given\, in order to go beyond the malleability of a word. \nMcKinley Arts & Culture Center\, Gallery East \nExhibition: October 17 – December 9\, 2022\nReception: October 20\, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:Black Rock Desert Artists-in-Residence Exhibition: Leave No Trace & Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Black Rock Desert Artists-in-Residence Exhibition\nFeaturing: \nLeave No Trace\nby collaborative artistic team: Courtney Sennish & Lisa Rock\nRestoration\nby Mark Maynard\nMcKinley Arts & Culture Center\, Gallery West\n925 Riverside Dr\, Reno\, NV 89503 \nExhibition: October 17 – December 9\, 2022\nReception: October 20\, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\n \n  \nGallery West in the McKinley Arts & Culture Center is proud to host an exhibition featuring works from the 2022 Black Rock Desert Artists-in-Residence Program. \nThe exhibition includes two parts: “Leave No Trace” by a collaborative artistic team of Courtney Sennish and Lisa Rock\, and “Restoration” by Mark Maynard. The residency program is a partnership between Friends of Black Rock-High Rock and the Bureau of Land Management Black Rock Field Office. The exhibition will run from October 17 – December 9\, 2022 in McKinley Arts and Culture Center\, Gallery West. Media are invited to cover the exhibition and attend the artists’ reception on Thursday\, October 27 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\n\n“Leave No Trace” \nCourtney Sennish and Lisa Rock come to the Black Rock Desert residency as a collaborative team that hail from the Bay Area. Both artists explore the urban landscape from different perspectives. Sennish makes sculptures that reshape and reimagine forms found in the urban environment using industrial materials and roadside waste. Rock makes paintings that explore nature’s relationship to manmade. For this exhibition they have shifted to create work that is directly inspired by the landscape. Drawing inspiration from the forms\, colors and shapes found within the landscape they created works that have a conversation with one another about the Black Rock Desert. \nAbout the Artists: \nLisa Rock (b. 1985 in Marlborough\, Massachusetts) is a painter living in Oakland\, CA. She received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and her BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. Recent solo exhibitions include Merge Visible at NIAD Art Center in Richmond\, CA and a solo exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art’s Currents Gallery. Rock was an artist in residence at the Vermont Studio Center and the Black Rock Desert NCA Artist in Residence program. She paints out of her studio in Alameda\, CA. \nCourtney Sennish (b. 1991 in Saginaw\, MI) lives and works in Emeryville\, CA. She received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and graduated from her MFA at California College of the Arts. In 2015\, she received the Headland’s Graduate Fellowship Alternate. Sennish was an artist in residence at Kala Art Institute\, Incahoots and the Black Rock Desert NCA Artist in Residence program. Courtney has been showing around the Bay Area\, in multiple group shows. In 2016 she had a solo show at Johansson Projects and a solo exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art’s Currents Gallery in 2019. \n“Restoration” \nRestoration is a collection of sketches and short essays documenting the artist’s time in the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area. Part of a larger work-in-progress tentatively titled Resident\, Restoration is an unrestrained look at how we conduct ourselves in wild places\, and the power of landscapes to shape character\, heal pain\, and bring unlikely collaborators together in public spaces. \nAbout the Artist: \nMark Maynard’s work has appeared in magazines and anthologies\, including Baobab Press’s This Side of the Divide\, Tahoe Blues (Bona Fide Books)\, and The Films of Clint Eastwood (University of New Mexico Press). His 2012 collection of short stories Grind (Torrey House Press) was selected as the 2016-17 Nevada Reads Book by the Nevada State Library. In 2015\, Mark was awarded the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame Silver Pen Award. He is currently at work on Piconland: The Quest for the Picon Punch\, a documentary film about the unofficial state cocktail of Nevada. \nMark teaches English\, journalism\, and creative writing at Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) in Reno\, NV. He has taught college-level writing for 17 years at TMCC\, the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and Sierra Nevada University. In addition to teaching\, he has worked as a journalist\, and a marketing writer for a major video game publisher. \nMark earned his B.A. in English from the University of San Diego and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Antioch University Los Angeles. He is currently enrolled in the Masters of Journalism program at the University of Nevada\, Reno. \nAbout the Program:\n \nThe Black Rock Desert Artist-in-Residence program promotes awareness through art of the exceptional places protected within the BLM’s National Conservation Lands. The experience provides an opportunity for learning and dialogue about the value of preserving public lands in the Black Rock Desert National Conservation Area. It will engage and inform an audience through public programs by participants and will provide time for artists to pursue their work. \nTo learn more about the Black Rock Artist-in-Residence Program:\nhttps://blackrockdesert.org/artist-residence-program-2022/

SUMMARY:TMCC Portfolio Emphasis Class Presents: "Calm Spaces\," "Head Case\," & "Morte"
DESCRIPTION:Gallery West in the McKinley Arts & Culture Center is proud to host an exhibition featuring works from students in the 2022 Portfolio Emphasis Class at Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC). The exhibition includes three parts: “Calm Spaces” by Julianna Horvath\, “Head Case” by Ryan Hartman\, and “Morte by Maggie Pollock.” \nThe Portfolio Emphasis class is the capstone class to a fine arts degree at TMCC\, where students learn to create a body of work and host a professional art exhibition from start to finish. The exhibition will run from December 19\, 2022 to February 10\, 2023 in McKinley Arts and Culture Center\, Gallery West. The public is invited to attend the artists’ reception on Thursday\, January 19\, 2023 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. \n“Calm Spaces” \nIn “Calm Spaces\,” Horvath looks to evoke feelings of calmness\, rest\, and relaxation. Using collage and painting\, she creates imagery that invites the viewer to feel peace and quiet. The world today is chaotic and overwhelming. Her goal is to create art\, with imagery that allows for detail-oriented introspection\, through images filled with nature\, neutral tones\, floral patterns\, embellishments\, and intricate details. Her hope that when viewed\, these pieces give someone a moment of rest. \n “Head Case” \n“Head Case” is a collection of sculptures that focuses on showing mental disorders through anthropomorphized and abstract characters. Individuals with mental disorders commonly attempt to cope with their problems and mask themselves to fit into “normal” social environments. This collection is meant to teach the audience about these issues through details and mannerisms portrayed in each character that symbolize coping mechanisms and side effects caused by certain disorders. It’s natural to anthropomorphize objects\, animals\, and other arts in order to relate their issues so that others can relate to them. Hartman’s focus in these sculptures is to imagine these characters in physical form but not make them realistic. His art style is semi-realistic with rustic coloring\, proper portions with exaggerated expressions\, and details to emphasize my symbolism. Hartman wants his audience to be drawn in by the exaggerated details. \n\n“Morte” \nMaggie Pollock’s goal with her series\, “Morte\,” is to provoke conversations about loss and grief through her art. Each of her paintings is a reflection of a person close to her who has passed. She is painting to imitate the Italian renaissance style\, using oil paint on canvas. She set up each still life to have small things that are full of symbolism and meaning that point to her grief without it being obvious. For example\, she includes flowers in many of her paintings. Plant symbolism has been used to convey particular meanings going back to the Middle Ages\, through the Renaissance\, and into the Victorian Era. Today\, not as many are familiar with the messages of flowers\, but through her interest and research\, she includes their hidden meanings to portray her emotions about the person she is mourning. She wants to show that even after someone is gone\, she can still hold love for them. Pollock would like the viewer to try and understand each pieces meaning and to reflect on their own experiences with loss. She would like to bring light to some of the more beautiful aspects of grief\, as it can make one see the beauty of life and make us appreciate it more. Overall\, Pollock hopes to create a sense of sadness and wonder in each piece. We all will experience grief in our lives\, it is an unavoidable thing\, but we can also celebrate the beauty of each person for who they were and the life they got to live. \n

SUMMARY:"Light\, Color\, and Contrast" - Latimer Art Club Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Metro Gallery at Reno City Hall is proud to host the Latimer Art Club in their exhibition “Color\, Light\, and Contrast.” \nThe exhibition will run from January 9 to February 17\, 2023 in Reno City Hall\, Metro Gallery. The public is invited to attend the artists’ reception on Thursday\, January 12\, 2023 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. \nThe Latimer Art Club has a long and rich history in Reno. The club was formed in 1921\, by students of a California artist\, Lorenzo P. Latimer. He began teaching in the Sierras\, at or near Fallen Leaf Lake where he would spend some lovely summer months from 1916 forward. His students formed the club with his advice and instruction\, and it carries on today\, over 100 years later. \nToday’s members must present samples of their work to be voted into membership\, similar to what was required in the early years. Their work must be exhibit quality\, to become an “active” member versus “associate” members who may be students or art aficionados. The artists work in various mediums – oils\, acrylics\, pastels\, watercolor\, and mixed media. The styles you will see are also varied. Although Mr. Latimer painted mostly landscapes in either watercolor or oils\, today’s members produce award-winning works in abstract\, impressionist\, semi-realistic or highly realistic styles.

Folk have traveled from far and wide to bask in its glow. \nThe Paiute\, Pueblo\, and Moapa bands took the journey long before the lights. Coming down from the mountains to set up winter camp in the valley\, they hunted and fished here\, cultivated rice\, and bathed in the natural springs. Each migration that followed—from the Spanish scouts who christened us “The Meadows\,” Las Vegas\, to the missionaries\, prospectors\, settlers\, and gangsters—chased not only a change of season\, but a kind of erasure\, a starting again. \nThe same was true for Black families journeying out of the southern reaches of the U.S. The shimmer of a desert dimly lit by the first lights\, well before the Strip\, promised an escape from racial terror\, limited opportunity\, and the legacy of Jim Crow. Sunday morning preachers encouraged parishioners to seek economic salvation by traveling West. The brilliant reportage of Ida B. Wells\, whose work led to the Anti-Lynching Laws of 1900\, further sparked the Great Migration\, as more than 6 million African-Americans relocated from the rural South to burgeoning cities in the North and West\, between 1910 and 1970. Early Black pioneers\, such as John Howell\, who prospected and ranched as early as 1870\, were the lodestar for those who came in the post-WWII boom as the Hoover Dam began construction.  In the decades since\, Black Las Vegans continue to leave behind established meccas of culture in D.C.\, Richmond\, Charlotte\, Chicago\, Detroit\, L.A.\, Atlanta to find surprising sustenance here in this desert—discovering and building a community\, a connection\, an excellence and identity that flourishes within and beyond the neon. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nJeff Scheid has been photographing Las Vegas for more than three decades. From chasing down the infamous Hole in the Wall Gang and Chicago mobster Tony “The Ant” Spilotro with his defense attorney Oscar Goodman as they walk defiantly out the doors of justice\, to photographing the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels basketball team on the road to the National Championship\, to capturing some of the most famous celebrities on the Las Vegas Strip\, Scheid has been there to tell the story of Las Vegas. \nHe co-authored the book “Quicksilver\, The Ted Binion Murder Case.” The book documented the trial with over 200 photos. \nScheid is a celebrated photographer who chronicled the history and day-to-day lives of the Fallini family\, owners of one of Nevada’s oldest working ranches in Nevada. Titled “Ranching in the High Desert\,” the series exhibited at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City and the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas. He has also captured the lives of everyday and celebrity workers on the Las Vegas Strip. Jeff’s current projects include documenting old and new Nevada. Jeff balances his time photographing life in rural Nevada and the ethnic diversity of Las Vegas. \nErica Vital-Lazare: Artist\, writer\, and professor of creative writing at the College\, Erica is a recipient of grants and awards from the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation\, the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Hilliard Endowment\, the Virginia Council of the Arts and the Nevada Arts Council. Cofounder of the nonprofit\, The Obodo Collective\, she is editor of a forthcoming series revisiting classic Black works in literature with McSweeney’s Press\, Of the Diaspora. \nAbout the Office for the Arts at Nevada State\nThe Office for the Arts enhances living and learning through arts and culture on campus and in the community.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Eunkang Koh: Desire
DESCRIPTION:Eunkang Koh: Desire\n\nExhibition Dates: May 15 – September 14\, 2023\nArtist’s Reception: Tuesday\, September 5\, 5 – 6:30pm; artist’s introduction at 5:30pm\nExhibition Venue: Bristlecone Gallery\, Western Nevada College\, 2201 W College Parkway\, Carson City \nDesire\nExhibition in WNC’s Bristlecone Gallery\nEunkang Koh said\, “My recent work responds to lifestyles and thinking processes that are often ruled by consumerism.” In her Desire exhibition for the Capital City Arts Initiative\, Koh presents sculptures and prints laced with diversity and humor. \nThe exhibit is open to the public May 15 – September 14\, 2023\, Monday through Friday\, 8am – 7pm\, in Western Nevada College’s Bristlecone Gallery\, 2201 W College Parkway\, Carson City. Visit the gallery over the summer and then return on Tuesday\, September 5\, 5pm – 6:30pm for the artist’s reception; the artist introduction is at 5:30pm. \nKoh noted\, “In my artwork\, I draw from the human circumstances that flourish between reality and perception. Born and raised in the Korean myth culture and adopting Buddhist philosophy\, I assume that the world we are living in is not real but is an illusion that we perceive. I doubt that there is anything like truth in a concrete sense. I aim to create my own illusion in my art. My images are my way of seeing the world without pretense.” \nOften using half-animal and half-human figures in her artwork\, she said\, “Those hybrid creatures represent portraits\, humans as social animals and the society that we live in often expressing the absurdity of the human world. They portray ironic gestures that create a mixture of humor and grotesqueness\, reflecting life in our society.” \nKoh feels that her recent work responds to lifestyles and thinking processes that are often ruled by consumerism. She talks about her creatures as “a portrait of us\, humans who reside in this illusionary world created by our own systems.” \nTo show the mass consumer culture where humans live in today’s contemporary society\, Koh employs different types of printmaking techniques incorporating other media such as relief\, intaglio\, screen printing\, as well as digital processes\, and new technologies like laser cutter and 3D printer that she combines with sewing\, ceramics\, bookbinding\, etc. She also experiments with human-made materials such as plastic boxes\, vinyl sheets\, and paper bags\, products that symbolize our micromanaged and controlled society. \nA native of South Korea\, Eunkang Koh received a B.F.A. from Hong-Ik University in Seoul\, South Korea\, and an M.F.A. from California State University\, Long Beach. Koh has also participated national and international group exhibitions in Canada\, Spain\, South Korea\, China\, and New York City. Koh has been invited to artist-in-residencies including Northern Ireland\, Belgium\, China\, India\, and Berkeley\, California. \nKoh is an Associate Professor in printmaking in the Art Department at the University of Nevada Reno. \nJosie Glassberg wrote the essay for the exhibition — available online and in the gallery. Glassberg is a freelance writer whose work has regularly appeared in Double Scoop Art News\, the Reno News & Review\, and Fibonacci magazine. She attended St. Olaf College for printmaking and enjoys writing about art in the West when she’s not busy with her main gig as a garden teacher. \nCarlos Ramirez\, a Western Nevada College Latino Leadership Academy student\, provided a Spanish translation of the show’s wall text. \nWestern Nevada College is a component of the Nevada System of Higher Education\, with campuses in Carson City\, Douglas County\, and Fallon. CCAI is an artist-centered nonprofit organization committed to community engagement in contemporary visual arts through exhibitions\, illustrated talks\, arts education programs\, artist residencies\, and online activities. \nThe Initiative is funded by the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust\, Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities\, John and Grace Nauman Foundation\, Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts\, Carson City Cultural Commission\, U.S. Bank Foundation\, Kaplan Family Charitable Fund\, Southwest Gas Corporation Foundation\, Steele & Associates LLC\, and CCAI sponsors and members. \nimage\, right: Doughnut Dreams; 18″x 24″x 4″; screen printing\, sewing\, relief\, aluminum tray; 2021\nimage\, left: Watching\, installation view\, detail: 120″x120″x120″\, relief printing and fabric\, 2021\nimage\, center: Desire exhibition flier

SUMMARY:Luminous Flux: When Light is Scene - solo exhibition by Dan Brady - Core Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Core Contemporary is proud to present “Luminous Flux: When Light is Scene\,” a solo exhibition by Las Vegas artist\, Dan Brady @void._.space The exhibition explores Brady’s visual storytelling through monotone paintings\, whose contents are unseen until lit from behind. The exhibition is on view through July 21\, 2023. \nAn innovative mixed-media artist\, Brady has created white painted canvases that hide their imagery until “triggered” in some way by the viewer. These paintings explore the notion that artwork does not exist without a viewer. Placed in a gallery setting\, the work appears\, at first glance\, to be calm\, meditative abstracts\, textured paintings; however\, as the viewers interact with the work\, they reveal powerful imagery\, surreal worlds\, and even comedic critiques on modern culture. \nGallery is open Tuesday-Friday\, 12-6pm\, and by appointment.  \nBrady will also present an in-person artist’s talk during the closing reception on July 21\, 2023\, 6-9pm.

Folk have traveled from far and wide to bask in its glow. \nThe Paiute\, Pueblo\, and Moapa bands took the journey long before the lights. Coming down from the mountains to set up winter camp in the valley\, they hunted and fished here\, cultivated rice\, and bathed in the natural springs. Each migration that followed—from the Spanish scouts who christened us “The Meadows\,” Las Vegas\, to the missionaries\, prospectors\, settlers\, and gangsters—chased not only a change of season\, but a kind of erasure\, a starting again. \nThe same was true for Black families journeying out of the southern reaches of the U.S. The shimmer of a desert dimly lit by the first lights\, well before the Strip\, promised an escape from racial terror\, limited opportunity\, and the legacy of Jim Crow. Sunday morning preachers encouraged parishioners to seek economic salvation by traveling West. The brilliant reportage of Ida B. Wells\, whose work led to the Anti-Lynching Laws of 1900\, further sparked the Great Migration\, as more than 6 million African-Americans relocated from the rural South to burgeoning cities in the North and West\, between 1910 and 1970. Early Black pioneers\, such as John Howell\, who prospected and ranched as early as 1870\, were the lodestar for those who came in the post-WWII boom as the Hoover Dam began construction.  In the decades since\, Black Las Vegans continue to leave behind established meccas of culture in D.C.\, Richmond\, Charlotte\, Chicago\, Detroit\, L.A.\, Atlanta to find surprising sustenance here in this desert—discovering and building a community\, a connection\, an excellence and identity that flourishes within and beyond the neon. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nJeff Scheid has been photographing Las Vegas for more than three decades. From chasing down the infamous Hole in the Wall Gang and Chicago mobster Tony “The Ant” Spilotro with his defense attorney Oscar Goodman as they walk defiantly out the doors of justice\, to photographing the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels basketball team on the road to the National Championship\, to capturing some of the most famous celebrities on the Las Vegas Strip\, Scheid has been there to tell the story of Las Vegas. \nHe co-authored the book “Quicksilver\, The Ted Binion Murder Case.” The book documented the trial with over 200 photos. \nScheid is a celebrated photographer who chronicled the history and day-to-day lives of the Fallini family\, owners of one of Nevada’s oldest working ranches in Nevada. Titled “Ranching in the High Desert\,” the series exhibited at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City and the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas. He has also captured the lives of everyday and celebrity workers on the Las Vegas Strip. Jeff’s current projects include documenting old and new Nevada. Jeff balances his time photographing life in rural Nevada and the ethnic diversity of Las Vegas. \nErica Vital-Lazare: Artist\, writer\, and professor of creative writing at the College\, Erica is a recipient of grants and awards from the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation\, the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Hilliard Endowment\, the Virginia Council of the Arts and the Nevada Arts Council. Cofounder of the nonprofit\, The Obodo Collective\, she is editor of a forthcoming series revisiting classic Black works in literature with McSweeney’s Press\, Of the Diaspora. \nAbout the Office for the Arts at Nevada State\nThe Office for the Arts enhances living and learning through arts and culture on campus and in the community.

SUMMARY:What the Desert Already Has\, Exhibit by Jen Urso
DESCRIPTION:What the Desert Already Has\, 2023\nJen Urso\nPerformance\, soil from Mormon Mesa (Michael Heizer’s “Double Negative”)\, recycled Plexiglas\, lights\, digitally printed poster \n“What the Desert Already Has” focuses on the small\, time-consuming effort of life in the desert\, from seed to plant. This piece uses soil harvested from Mormon Mesa\, where Michael Heizer created “Double Negative.” The soil was placed in two 1/120 scale trenches\, which is irrigated and lit with grow lights to encourage dormant seeds to grow. Intended as a long-term\, slow performance\, this piece focuses on the small\, persistent efforts of abundant desert life\, contrasted with the large\, destructive bulldozing and mark-making of 1960s/70s land artists like Heizer. The accompanying Mormon Mesa botanical poster situated between the two Plexiglas trenches features plants found by the artist and citizen scientists on iNaturalist with information on known ethnobotanical uses. \nThis temporary exhibit will run from July 12 through Oct 20\, 2023\, in the 1981 gallery.
