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.

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.

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. URL:https://www.nvartscouncil.org/event/something-about-comfort/2022-10-17/ LOCATION:McKinley Arts and Cultural Center\, 925 Riverside Dr.\, Reno\, NV\, 89503\, United States CATEGORIES:Family Friendly,Reception,Visual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.nvartscouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/638003898265130000.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221017T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221017T170000 DTSTAMP:20260414T125241 CREATED:20221024T160820Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221024T160820Z UID:33281-1665993600-1666026000@www.nvartscouncil.org 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.

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.

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 URL:https://www.nvartscouncil.org/event/transformers-reshaping-form-and-meaning-exhibition/2022-10-31/ LOCATION:NV\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibit,Visual END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221101T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221101T170000 DTSTAMP:20260414T125241 CREATED:20221024T152528Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221024T193320Z UID:33217-1667304000-1667322000@www.nvartscouncil.org SUMMARY:Alchemy of the Ephemeral DESCRIPTION:A two-person show with new paintings by Joanna Drakos and Erika Mayoral.
