SUMMARY:Reception: Holland Emerge
DESCRIPTION:Emerge 2023 spotlights the works of four up-and-coming young artists from Northern Nevada who are all active participants in the arts community at the Holland Project. Abbay Anderson\, Nic Blauth\, Ruby Burge\, and Olivia Mier have all taken part in our Work In Progress art program and have contributed artwork to multiple Young Blood exhibitions at the Holland Project. We have had the great privilege of seeing their work grow and evolve over the past few years and it is exciting to witness them define their aesthetic and voice as artists. We are thrilled to be able to share their work in the McKinley Gallery and we can’t wait to see what is next on the horizon for each of these talented young artists. \nThe Holland Project is an all-ages arts and music initiative by young people\, for young people\, in the Truckee Meadows. Holland is non-profit\, volunteer-driven organization that produces more than 250 all-ages events annually in the Reno area. Governed by its members\, volunteer boards and our committees\, Holland seeks to propel Reno’s all-ages movement\, and wholeheartedly support and champion opportunities for young people in our community. \nHolland Project hopes to further identify Reno as a cultural center with a vibrant urban scene where art and music thrive. Holland fundamentally believes that music and art are vital forces\, and that young people have the ability and right to shape and share their culture. All-ages events and opportunities are an important part of any healthy and happening community\, and we’re proud to work to present all-ages offerings. \nGallery East\, located in McKinley Arts & Culture Center is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno.

SUMMARY:NTI Traveling Exhibition Meaning Is Always Here Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:City of Reno City Hall \nMetro Gallery\nAugust 14 – October 6\, 2023 \nReception\, Thursday\, September 28\, from 5 – 7 p.m. \nReno\, NV– The City of Reno presents the NTI-Traveling Exhibition\, Meaning is always here. I started the curation of Meaning is Always Here by trying to imagine a persona the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art might present to Nevadans that live far away and cannot reach us. We at the Museum think we have a good sense of who we are\, but how do others perceive us? We shift. Our exhibitions change. Therefore\, this exhibition should show that change with artists from different backgrounds and media. The works should reference the real world and represent a transformation through the artists’ decisions\, so that we can see where they’re coming from. \nMeaning is always here…I think about the artworks that couldn’t be included in this traveling show for reasons of size or fragility. That artwork awaits you here\, at the Barrick Museum of Art. Visit us and see. \nExhibition artists include: Alexander Calder\, Candice Lin\, Chase R. McCurdy\, Kim Rugg\, Krystal Ramirez\, Lucio Pozzi\, Marshall Scheuttle\, Mary Cady Johnson\, Mikayla Whitmore\, Stephen Antonakos\, Tomoko Daido. \nThe Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is pleased to loan this artwork from our permanent collection to the Nevada Arts Council. Our goal is to help broaden the Museum’s message that everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. \nABOUT: Curated by Deanna Sole\, Meaning is always here is part of the Nevada Touring Initiative– Traveling Exhibition Program. It was funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the State of Nevada. The Nevada Arts Council is a division of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. \nThe Metro Gallery at Reno City Hall is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno and open to the public\, free of charge\, Monday-Friday\, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The Metro Gallery is accessible through City Hall’s main entrance on the 2nd floor of the City Hall parking garage located on the NW corner of First St. & Center St. To learn more about the exhibition\, visit art & culture at reno.gov. \nFor More information about the exhibition\, please contact or visit: \nhttps://www.nvartscouncil.org/programs/artist-services/nti/nti-exhibitions/meaning-is-always-here/ \n\nDeanna Sole\, Curator of NTI-Transformers Reshaping Form and Meaning\, deanne.sole@unlv.edu\nStephen Reid\, Artist Services Program Specialist\, Nevada Arts Council\, sreid@nevadaculture.org or 775.687.7108

SUMMARY:Reflections Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reflections are concepts of perception and introspection. Many Mesoamerican cultures used obsidian to create reflective portals\, black mirrors\, into other worlds. Diving further into the esoteric\, the mirror has also brought a lot of anxiety and superstition through beliefs such as demons trapped behind its surface and the childhood game\, Bloody Mary. Vanity is another word that comes to mind when thinking of our reflections. You can see that in the tragedy of Narcissus falling in love with his own image and the clash of European industries in a race to perfect the looking glass due to popular demand. All in all\, our mirror images both allure and terrify us. We invite you to explore these dichotomies through the exhibiting artists’ work\, depicting and exploring the fantastical world of reflections! \nReception: September 30\, 2023 5:30pm-7:30pm. \nJuror \nMikayla Whitmore is an artist and photojournalist working within the vast realms of photography\, sculpture\, and activism. In conversation with landscape\, they utilize concepts of space & existentialism to convey their observations with the romanticization of the West\, queer experience\, and the appreciation of the sublime in the often mundane. Growing up in Las Vegas\, and after obtaining their Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, in 2010\, they have exhibited work nationally and internationally. A recent project includes the upcoming Live in America Performing Arts Festival at the Momentary Museum in Bentonville\, Arkansas. Their work can be found in various media\, including The New Yorker\, Vanity Fair\, The Wall Street Journal\, ESPN\, and High Country News. Mikayla is a member of Women Photograph\, a non-profit to elevate the voices of women and nonbinary visual journalists\, and a collaborator of the Mystery Ranch\, an art and ecology research station located near Searchlight\, Nevada.

SUMMARY:Artifacts of Introspection\, An Exhibition of Paintings by Joanna Drakos
DESCRIPTION:Joanna Drakos will be exhibiting her latest painting series\, “Artifacts of Introspection\,” at Sierra Arts Foundation Riverside Gallery\, in downtown Reno\, Nevada\, September 7-30\, 2023.  There will be an artist reception September 23\, 2023\, from 12 noon to 4:00 pm. \nA brief statement from the artist: “One year ago\, at the apex of summer heat\, I had the misfortune of suffering a heat-related illness. My recovery was slow\, and it began to affect my state of mind. All the while\, compounded by the unrelenting intensity of the extreme temperatures that affected my ability to perform daily tasks. I continued to paint in the refuge of my studio where I fantasized about escaping to a place of coolness\, comfort\, and hope. Using my painting practice to transport me\, I created the concept of Winter’s Realm as an antidote to the one-hundred degree temperatures outside. As the project progressed through the seasons\, my exploration of this escapist world took unexpected twists and turns. I emerged from a cool place\, through sunsets and solstices and entered the enveloping rich textures of a birch forest. The paintings traversed a path of escape and catharsis as the color palette and painting techniques evolved and shifted. The resulting series of paintings are best described as my Artifacts of Introspection. \nI paint my abstract canvases in an intuitive style that follows an intention that I’ve set for myself. I use various sensory input for artistic inspiration: music\, scent\, color\, atmospheric mood\, and inward mental explorations; what I like to call “falling down the rabbit hole” of thought. This is all a part of the therapeutic benefit I derive from painting. My anxious anticipation of the next summer and the next\, as temperatures continue an upward trajectory\, is not something I look forward to; but through painting\, I’ve found a way to cope. \nThis project is funded through a grant by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Preview\, Artist Talk & Opening Reception: Homesickness: On Longing and Loss
DESCRIPTION:The College of Southern Nevada\, School of Arts and Letters\, Department of Fine Arts and Art Gallery Program would like to invite you to engage with artist and North Central College Assistant Professor of Art\, Whitney Sage this Thursday\, September 28 at 6pm as she participates in a special Preview\, Artist Talk\, and Opening Reception with refreshments in conjunction with her Artspace Gallery Exhibition\, Homesickness: On Longing and Loss. Homesickness: On Longing and Loss is on display now and will run through Saturday\, December 2\, 2023\, in the Artspace Gallery on the North Las Vegas Campus of the College of Southern Nevada. \nWhitney Sage earned her Bachelor’s degrees in Art Education and Painting from Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio and her M.F.A. in Studio Art from the Sam Fox School of Visual Art at Washington University in St. Louis. Her work\, which includes practices of painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, fibers and installation\, has previously been featured in solo exhibitions at Buckham Gallery\, Indiana University East\, Pump House Arts Center\, Workhouse Arts Center\, Art Reach Mid-Michigan\, ROY G BIV and Ripon College. A selection of Sage’s recent work has been featured in notable group exhibitions at UICA\, the Painting Center\, Superfront LA Gallery\, the Lexington Art League\, the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Kennedy Art Museum and the Dennos Museum Center. Sage has been an artist-in-residence at the Vermont Studio Center\, Studios Midwest\, AIR Studio Paducah\, Wave Pool\, Millimetre Press and Popp’s Packing. Her creative work has been featured in a number of publications including Manifest Gallery’s INDA 14\, Refract Journal\, Hour Detroit Magazine\, WomanArts Quarterly Journal\, Newfound Journal\, Maake Magazine\, and the Post-Industrial Complex catalog\, published by the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit as a survey of makers in the Detroit area. \nWhen discussing her work\, Sage asserts\, “Homesickness: On Longing and Loss\, focuses its lens on the sprawling neighborhoods of Detroit and Highland Park\, Michigan. Stylistically modeled after tintype photography\, the work co-opts the visual iconography and traditions of landscape for its ability to reflect the larger cultural ideals and shifts of its time. Having grown up in suburban Detroit\, I’ve witnessed first-hand the region’s bellwether relevance to the ways our nation’s post-industrial economy\, geographic sprawl and affinity for consumption continues to leave behind communities in its wake. Through the depiction of failing or absent architecture\, the works address the many challenges facing urban and rural communities nationwide: the availability of safe\, affordable housing\, the maintenance of stable and dense neighborhoods\, and the disappearance of recognizable homeland and along with it\, the erasure of communal and familial histories.” \nThe CSN Artspace Gallery is free\, family friendly\, and open to the public. Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

SUMMARY:“Earth Rise\,” by Mark Brandvik Public Art Dedication in Moapa Valley Community Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us and Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick next Wednesday\, November 1st from 5 PM to 7 PM for the dedication of “Earth Rise\,” a public art sculpture by Mark Brandvik. \nLocation:\nMoapa Valley Community Center\n320 N. Moapa Valley Boulevard\nOverton\, Nevada 89040 \n“Earth Rise” by Mark Brandvik serves as a gateway to Michael Heizer’s renowned land art piece\, “Double Negative\,” located 8 miles east of the Moapa Valley Community Center. The sculpture’s captivating composition of steel forms pays homage to Heizer’s groundbreaking work\, reflecting the forces of excavation and erosion. It also draws inspiration from the nearby landscape’s landforms and archaeology\, while celebrating the American spirit of discovery from the Space Age. \nThe Moapa Valley Community played an invaluable role in the creation of “Double Negative”. Now\, over 50 years later “Earth Rise”\, the sculpture is a tribute to their contribution. Situated on the property of the Moapa Valley Community Center\, the artwork features subtle glyphs etched into the weathered steel\, honoring the Valley and its people who have warmly welcomed art enthusiasts from around the world for over half a century. \nMark Brandvik\, a native of Las Vegas\, has a BFA from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, and an MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, Brandvik has received numerous grants\, commissions\, and residencies for his art. His work has been exhibited extensively across the United States\, Canada\, and Europe. In addition to his art practice\, Brandvik has been teaching studio art since 1997 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, and the College of Southern Nevada. He currently resides and maintains a studio in downtown Las Vegas. \nMarkbrandvik.com

SUMMARY:On Instinct: New Work by Ashley Gottlieb
DESCRIPTION:“On Instinct” is an exhibition of new work by Reno-based artist Ashley Gottlieb. The exhibition will run from November 4 to December 31\, 2023 at the South Valleys Library Art Gallery in Reno\, NV. \nThe public is invited to an artist reception on Wednesday\, November 15 from 5:30-6:30 pm at the South Valleys Library. \nLearn more at the show at https://www.ashleygottlieb.com/portfolio-1/oninstinct \nContact the artist with inquires at hello@ashleygottlieb.com \nArtist Statement for “On Instinct”: \n“On Instinct” is a collection of artworks developed using an automatic drawing technique that allows my primal urge to create freewheeling\, nonsensical shapes to run wild\, all while continuing to take a thoughtful approach to uncover the composition’s balance through color. What results is a personal journey of instinctual shape-making combined with audacious color palettes\, forming unexpected and energetic arrangements. \nThis series emerged as a response to frustration within the initial stages of my creative process for my next series. I had been grappling with a self-imposed expectation that my work needed more polish or less “strangeness\,” which only led to creative pressure and overthinking every decision. This led to a painful sketching process and rather boring compositions. I decided to stop forcing square pegs into round holes and instead followed my gut to sketch something from a natural state of flow. What transpired was exhilarating – playfulness\, movement\, energy\, and an elusive balance among the diverse shapes\, all while suggesting a hint of instability. These traits\, in conjunction with color\, remain at the heart of my ongoing artistic exploration and ignite my inner creativity. \nIn addition to my exploration of shape\, balance and color\, I aim to transport the viewer to an alternate realm\, one that is uniquely personal to each individual. While I have no specific realm in mind\, I envision it as a joyful and playful space. In many ways\, the artworks in “On Instinct” serve as psychological association tests. I invite you to embark on a personal journey when viewing each piece. Where does it take you? What do you see? Don’t overthink it. Just go with your instinct.

At the screening we will get to experience the exciting\, hilarious and sometimes gruesome\, 2-part series finale. This is a finale people will definitely be talking about! \nWAIT was a short film finalist in Reno’s very own Cordillera International Film Festival for Best Nevada Film. It was also just screened at the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood as an official selection of the Silicon Beach Film Festival. It is a powerful coming-of-age story that follows a girl and her dad\, from innocence to one heartbreaking turning point. Will she learn to navigate her emotions\, with the help of a stranger\, one early morning in a hospital waiting room? \nPlease be in contact for photos\, interviews with the filmmakers and tickets to the screening.
