SUMMARY:Three Generations of Polarized Light Art
DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s\, a time of cross-pollination in art and science\, Austine’s engagement with light and optics was shaped by her discovery of the phenomena of polarized light from her first husband\, astronomer and physicist H. John Wood. In 1967\, Austine developed a new light-based medium that she called Polage. By collaging clear cellophane between cross-polarizing filters\, she began producing full color artworks without using any pigments or dyes. \nSelecting for specific wavelengths from the prismatic spectrum of color in natural light produces her color palette. Colors plucked from light are vibrantly alive and will shift and change as the filters rotate or as the viewer moves about\, making the perception of the art an active component of the work. \nIn 1976\, Austine and her husband\, David Comarow moved to the Las Vegas area. They worked together to establish a long-lasting studio practice and refined her Polage medium and methods of display\, leading to many innovations and commissions over the following decades. Their first studio gallery opened in Boulder City\, Nevada\, in 1985. \nThat same year\, Austine’s eldest daughter\, Cara Wood Ginder\, began working for Austine Studios as an art assistant\, fabricator\, and studio manager. This began a longtime artistic partnership with her mother\, which grew into full design collaboration in later years. \nIn 1998\, Austine’s younger daughter\, Erika Wood\, became part of the studio\, later focusing on designing hybrid production methods that enabled Polage artworks to be created in carefully controlled multiples\, comparable to traditional printmaking. \nAt that time\, Austine Studios entered a long-term relationship with Maui Jim sunglasses\, bringing the medium into dialogue with applied optics and polarized-lens technology as they secured an exclusive on Austine Studios artwork in optical boutiques worldwide. \nIn 2018\, Cara accepted the position of full-time lead artist and studio director of Austine Studios. Her daughter\, Charlotte Ginder\, joined the studio in 2019; the third generation to work in the family business of Polage. \nAfter Austine’s sudden passing in 2020\, Cara\, Erika\, and Charlotte kept up the family legacy as the artists of Austine Studios until it closed in 2025. \nAustine’s art is on view in the permanent collections of the Museum of Science\, Boston; the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science; and Swarthmore College\, among others\, appearing in museums\, hospitals\, public spaces\, and private collections around the world. \nThe nearby Spring Mountains Visitor’s Center\, just outside Las Vegas on Mt. Charleston\, features a 75-foot-long Polage art mural celebrating the flora and fauna of the desert that inspired so much of her work. \nToday Cara and Erika have launched a new collaboration\, Lightread Studios\, where they continue their work together creating polarized light artworks and commissions. \nOn exhibit at Sahara West Library\, 9600 W Sahara Ave. Las Vegas\, Nevada\, through May 2\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Home Truth: Image-making in Absence\, Photography by Steven Seidenberg
DESCRIPTION:The photographic practice of Steven Seidenberg explores a material world of the unnoticed\, fixing attention on structures\, environments\, and landscapes often hidden in plain sight. Three photographic series are combined in this exhibition; each focuses on past and present living conditions in a different area of the world (Puglia and Rome\, Italy; Kanazawa\, Japan). Seidenberg’s richly detailed images capture current and former living spaces—houses\, tents\, outbuildings\, and empty lots— providing the viewer with ideas about the lived environment\, how space is used\, and how humans travel through and live within the spaces they occupy under wide-ranging material conditions. \nImage: Steven Seidenberg from the series\, The Architecture of Silence: Abandoned Lives of the Italian South\, photograph\, courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:Classix Series | Mendolssohn Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: \nSaturday\, March 21\, 2026: Doors 6 p.m.\, Concert 7:30 p.m.  \nSunday\, March 22\, 2026: Doors 2:30 p.m.\, Concert 4 p.m.  \nLike a great masterpiece shaped by time and intellect\, the Reno Phil embarks on the pursuit of knowledge\, where music unfolds with curiosity\, discovery\, and profound insight. At the heart of the evening is Nathan Amaral\, the first prize winner of the 2024 Sphinx Competition\, whose artistry illuminates Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto—a work of exquisite elegance and fiery virtuosity\, as if the violin itself is searching for truth in every soaring phrase. The journey begins with Autumn Maria Reed’s Robin’s Eye View\, a vivid and imaginative exploration of the world from above. The night reaches its pinnacle with Brahms’ Symphony No. 1\, a work Robert Schumann once prophesied as part of Beethoven’s legacy\, declaring that Brahms\, wielding his “magic wand\,” would reveal “wondrous glimpses into the secret world of the spirits.” From its stormy opening to its triumphant\, hymn-like finale\, the symphony wrestles with struggle and revelation\, culminating in an exultant resolution—a testament to the brilliance that emerges when passion and intellect collide.   \nON THE PROGRAM  \nAutumn Maria Reed Robin’s Eye View\n Felix Mendelssohn Violin Concerto op. 64 in E minor  \n Johannes Brahms Symphony No. 1 op. 68 in C minor     \nTICKET INFORMATION   \nTickets for 2025-26 Classix Series concerts at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts can only be purchased at this time as part of a Classix 6-concert subscription package.

SUMMARY:All That You Ever Wanted/Todo Lo Que Siempre Quisistes: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring  the work of Orlando Montenegro - Henderson
DESCRIPTION:The College of Southern Nevada\, School of Arts & Letters\, and Department of Fine Arts will host a traveling exhibition of mixed media artworks by Central American-born\, Nevada-based artist and College of Southern Nevada adjunct faculty\, Orlando Montenegro. All That You Ever Wanted/Todo Lo Que Siempre Quisistes: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Orlando Montenegro\, will open on Tuesday\, July 1\, 2025\, and will travel throughout the Las Vegas Valley with showings on the CSN Charleston campus (July 1\, 2025 – Oct. 31\, 2025)\, the North Las Vegas campus (Nov. 1\, 2025 – Feb. 28\, 2026)\, and the Henderson campus (March 1\, 2026 – June 30\, 2026). A special Gallery Talk and Artist Reception with light refreshments will take place on Thursday\, Nov. 13\, 2025\, at 6 p.m. in the North Las Vegas Campus Tyrone Thompson Student Union Art Gallery. The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free\, family-friendly\, and open to the public. \nSpeaking of his life\, Montenegro says\, “I was born in Central America in the early 1980s. My father was a lawyer\, and he got into some trouble\, and my mother was an accountant\, and she did not like the government at the time. They immigrated to the United States sometime in the late 80s because it seemed better economically\, and they ended up working in casinos. I have two younger siblings who are nurses\, and they are also married to nurses. I once almost passed out giving blood and looking at a documentary where there was blood\, and I was not good at math in school\, but I liked to draw. My Spanish vocabulary is not that good\, but I can speak and read some of it at a basic level. I prefer to talk in English if I have to. It’s impressive how people can interpret words and images differently when they see things from their own point of view\, and how their upbringing\, education\, and beliefs affect that point of view.” \nRegarding his work\, Montenegro continues\, “We live in the richest country in the world\, but it’s a pyramid scheme. I had surgery with insurance and paid an inflated amount\, only to get another bill in the mail. I wish we had decent public transportation because gas is expensive\, and people drive irresponsibly. I wanted to rent\, but my mortgage is cheaper because I moved into a house before the pandemic. Home insurance and car insurance are also a scam\, but I need them just in case. I don’t buy juice anymore\, or cereal\, or Mexican Coca-Cola. The price went up\, and my Doctor said I should eat fruit and I should just drink water\, because I need to worry about diabetes. He said juice is a scam. \nI started using things like newspapers and food packaging because they relate to consumption and the economy. Food packaging is discardable\, and it can be aesthetically pleasing depending on how it is designed. Advertisements can be beautiful or seductive\, but the food flyers that I get in the mail are not considered beautiful. I am not saying they are either. I see some graffiti around town while driving\, and I like the bold colors and line work. Some of it does not make sense and feels abstract or nonrepresentational. I don’t really remember what I thought when I first saw Andy Warhol’s soup can art in Professor Rico’s Art History class some twenty years ago. I am sure that at the time\, I thought the book and his lectures were all gobbledygook because “art is supposed to be beautiful”. \nThe CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free\, family-friendly\, and open to the public. Gallery hours vary by campus and semester. Please visit https://www.csn.edu/student-unions for current hours of operation. \nFor more information\, please call 702-651-4146 or visit https://www.csn.edu/artgallery.

SUMMARY:Prairie Princess/Desert Dandy A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Lauren Myers Reese - Charleston
DESCRIPTION:The College of Southern Nevada\, School of Arts & Letters\, and Department of Fine Arts is now hosting a traveling exhibition of text-based paintings by Nevada-based artist and College of Southern Nevada adjunct faculty\, Lauren Myers Reese. Prairie Princess / Desert Dandy: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Lauren Myers Reese\, opened on Tuesday\, July 1\, 2025\, and will travel throughout the Las Vegas Valley with showings on the CSN North Las Vegas Campus (July 1\, 2025 – Oct. 31\, 2025)\, the Henderson campus (Nov. 1\, 2025 – Feb. 28\, 2026)\, and the Charleston campus (March 1\, 2026 – June 30\, 2026). A special Gallery Talk and Artist Reception with light refreshments will take place on Thursday\, Feb. 19\, 2026\, at 6 p.m. in the Henderson Campus Student Union Art Gallery. The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free\, family-friendly\, and open to the public. \nLauren Myers Reese is an artist\, educator\, and arts administrator\, and currently serves as an adjunct faculty member in the Art & Art History Program at the College of Southern Nevada. Reese received his Master of Fine Arts in visual art from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas in 2022 and his Bachelor in Fine Arts in Studio Art from the University of Oklahoma\, Norman\, in 2012. Reese is a co-founder of the Vegas Institute for Contemporary Engagement\, a research lab for art and experimentation. Before attending UNLV\, Reese worked in a variety of roles\, including independent curator\, arts writer\, nonprofit administrator\, factory worker\, educator\, and art gallery director. Reese’s visual work has been shown across the United States\, Canada\, Mexico\, Scotland\, Estonia\, and Colombia. His writings are found in the Jewish Studies Journal\, Art Focus Oklahoma\, Southwest Contemporary\, and Settlers and Nomads. \nSpeaking of his work\, Reese states\, “This body of work layers texts from a variety of sources on the history of Nevada. These books focus on early and pre-Statehood Nevada\, as well as contemporary issues like gendered work\, sexuality\, labor rights\, and equality as it relates to the recent history of Las Vegas and Nevada. Combining historical nonfiction and accounts of the Las Vegas and Nevada area pre- and post-statehood\, the work layers text to create alternative narratives\, and puts a highlight on the missing parts of the narratives from traditional histories of the West. By layering texts from both historical first-hand accounts\, primary sources\, and contemporary artists living in Las Vegas\, the words combine and layer to create a miasma of time. Time collapses as texts from a variety of writers and eras are layered on top of each other. It is a reimagined story and historical fiction told through the spaces between the words.” \nThe CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free\, family-friendly\, and open to the public. Gallery hours vary by campus and semester. Please visit https://www.csn.edu/student-unions for current hours of operation. \nFor more information\, please call 702-651-4146 or visit https://www.csn.edu/artgallery.

SUMMARY:Flux1: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Sherry Watkins - North Las Vegas
DESCRIPTION:The College of Southern Nevada\, School of Arts & Letters\, and Department of Fine Arts will host a traveling exhibition of acrylic paintings by Nevada-based artist and College of Southern Nevada Performing Arts Center box office supervisor\, Sherry Watkins. Flux1: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Sherry Watkins\, will open on Tuesday\, July 1\, 2025\, and will travel throughout the Las Vegas Valley with showings on the CSN Henderson Campus (July 1\, 2025 – Oct. 31\, 2025)\, the Charleston Campus (Nov. 1\, 2025 – Feb. 28\, 2026)\, and the North Las Vegas Campus (March 1\, 2026 – June 30\, 2026). A special Gallery Talk and Artist Reception with light refreshments will take place on Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026\, at 6 p.m. in the North Las Vegas Campus\, Tyrone Thompson Student Union Art Gallery. The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free\, family-friendly\, and open to the public. \nOriginally from Illinois\, Sherry Watkins has lived in Las Vegas for nearly 50 years. She attended Clark High School\, the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, and the College of Southern Nevada. Watkins has been painting for over a decade\, working primarily in abstract styles. Her work explores various techniques\, including fluid pouring and original design methods. Watkins uses a wide range of tools and materials to achieve distinctive effects and embraces experimentation and creative risk in her process. While she occasionally paints traditional subjects—such as characters\, still lifes\, and landscapes—Watkins is most drawn to the expressive freedom of abstraction. \nSpeaking of her work\, Watkins states\, “Most of my work comes from trial and error\, a willingness to explore new methods\, opening my boundaries to include what I might not at first be comfortable with\, and sometimes just pure luck. I enjoy the freedom of abstract art. I like the power of creating something that did not previously exist. I have AD/HD. When I was doing more “traditional” painting\, such as still life and landscapes\, I ended up with a lot of unfinished paintings. I would be on to the next idea before finishing what I was working on. With abstract art\, only the artist knows when it is truly finished. Abstract art gave me the freedom to be able to paint without the anxiety of not completing my work and leaving paintings half done.” \nThe CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free\, family-friendly\, and open to the public. Gallery hours vary by campus and semester. Please visit https://www.csn.edu/student-unions for current hours of operation. \nFor more information\, please call 702-651-4146 or visit https://www.csn.edu/artgallery

This exhibition honors those lived experiences by creating space for artists of all backgrounds to speak directly to the queer community—past\, present\, and future—through words and images meant to be held\, sent\, and remembered. \nPostcards From the Edge (of Nevada) is not just a collection of artworks\, but a living archive of care. Each postcard becomes a gesture of solidarity\, a reminder that even at the edge\, we are not alone. \n“At Our Center\, we are dedicated to creating and supporting inclusive programs for the entire LGBTQ+ community. This includes offering support groups for youth and adult trans members\, community groups for seniors\, and prevention-focused initiatives.” \nTo learn more about what Our Center offers\, please visit: https://ourcenterreno.org/ \nGallery West\, located in McKinley Arts & Culture Center is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno.

SUMMARY:“Reno Mug Shots: vessels\, possibly made for drinking\, inspired by Reno” The Wedge Ceramic Studios
DESCRIPTION:McKinley Arts & Culture Center\nGallery East\nFeb. 23 – April 2\, 2026\nReception\, Thursday\, Feb. 26\, 2026\, 5pm to 7pm \nThe artists at the Wedge Ceramics Studio are thrilled to present Reno Mug Shots: vessels\, possibly made for drinking\, inspired by Reno. Making mugs is something all ceramic artists take comfort\, joy\, and pride in\, each for their own reasons. This is not unlike living in Reno and Northern Nevada\, where we delight in Reno each in our own way\, making it our own\, stamping it with our signature. But our individual marks\, left on mugs\, left on our town\, can really only be understood when seen as a whole\, as if we’re all working towards the same unknown goal. \nOur mugs represent what Reno means to us\, the storied past\, shared present\, and an always uncertain but collaborative and communal future. Fill your cup up with whatever you want\, for what you get out of Reno is a magnification and reflection of what you put in. \n“The Wedge Ceramics Studio was started in September 2011 by Sutter and Samantha Stremmel. Moving back to Reno after graduating from Montana State University\, they bemoaned the fact there was no place to play with clay unless you were currently institutionalized in school or classes.” \n“Over a decade later\, we have become an institution ourselves. We are an ever growing\, always dynamic\, entropic studio in a 5000 sq. ft. industrial warehouse turned ceramics studio. Sam and Sutter now work together to operate their respective\, neighboring businesses\, the Wedge and Sierra Water\, an indoor plant shop next door in the warehouse at 2055 Dickerson Rd. We are excited to be a part of Dickerson Road’s family of artists.” \nTo learn more about what The Wedge offers\, please visit: https://www.thewedgeceramics.com/ \nGallery East\, located in McKinley Arts & Culture Center is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno.

DESCRIPTION:Curated By: Julian Kilker\, Checko Salgado\, and Paula Garrett   \nFeb. 23- April 17\, 2026  \nReception: Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026\, 5-7 p.m.   \nOn the 10-year anniversary of the Basin and Range National Monument\, three friends curated a documentary photography and video exhibit documenting this remote region of Nevada—one located several hours by car north of Las Vegas and Southeast of Reno. The monument features 1\,100 square miles of spectacular undeveloped mountains and valleys in southeastern Nevada\, and its protected status preserves geological and historical features for future generations while continuing to provide access for recreation\, grazing\, and military training.   \nThe collaboration behind this exhibit echoes the cooperation among Nevadan volunteers\, artists\, researchers\, locals\, and visitors who enjoy and help protect our state’s wealth. Basin and Range National Monument is the result of an innovative collaboration among multiple stakeholders. At the Heart of Nevada parallels this creation\, focusing on multiple uses of the land and collaborations among these stakeholders. Among the photographs and videos by multiple contributors are representations of geology and history\, ranching\, volunteering\, recreation\, and artistic and military engagement. Its curators\, board members of the non-profit organization Friends of Basin and Range\, help ensure protection of the ecological\, cultural\, historic\, and recreational resources of the Monument area through community engagement\, advocacy\, interpretive and educational programming\, support of academic research\, site stewardship\, and restoration efforts.  \nFor more information about the Basin & Range National Monument visit https://www.friendsofbasinandrange.com.   \nThe Metro Gallery\, located on the first floor of City of Reno City Hall\, is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno.

SUMMARY:BMI Live: Nature is What We Come To in the Practice of Remembering featuring Saretta Morgan with Lazarus Letcher\, Erica Vital-Lazare\, and Claytee D. White
DESCRIPTION:This conversation opens a space to celebrate the rich perspectives of Black artists\, social change makers\, and everyday folks who’ve deepened our capacities to feel\, observe\, and be present to natural worlds that are often weaponized against us as Black people shaped in various ways by the U.S. South (east/west).  \nComing from a range of disciplines and movements—music\, poetry\, oral history\, birding\, land stewardship\, water protection\, sobriety\, demilitarization\, and more—guests Lazarus Letcher\, Erica Vital-Lazare\, Claytee D.

SUMMARY:Circus Freaks 8 - Our Showgirl Era
DESCRIPTION:Circus Freaks was born during Creator Christopher Childers’ time working with Cirque du Soleil. There was so much crossover talent\, and he wanted to showcase the things you didn’t see in the shows. Aerialists who could sing\, dancers who could perform aerial skills\, contortionists that were ballet dancers\, and acrobats who could do pretty much everything. He fondly often called them “Circus Freaks” because they trained mercilessly\, kept themselves insanely trim and incredibly flexible—working at their craft constantly. Shooting hoops\, jumping rope\, hand balancing each other\, stretching\, jogging\, lifting weights and singing! A rare group of freaks indeed! This years theme: “Our Showgirl Era” will feature not only the usual spectacular circus acts\, dancers\, singers and comedic shenanigans\, but we are bringing back some of the original dancers and Showgirls from Las Vegas’ classic Showgirl shows\, Les Folies Bergere and Jubilee! This will be one for the books! \nA steamy\, circus-driven variety show. Hugely artistic. Darkly sexy. Hilarious and outrageous. Colorful. Bawdy. Naughty. And always unpredictable.

SUMMARY:Local Authors Month Kickoff: Book Signings\, Readings and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:April Fools fun: people who are “in the know” are invited to bring gullible friends (especially teens!) to get a free book and have it signed by Mark Twain.\nThere are two different times to attend: 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. \nThe first 300 people will receive a free book! Twain will be impersonated by McAvoy Layne of Lake Tahoe. He is a hilarious and believable Twain who’s performed internationally and earned many awards.\nTwain and local author legend\, Todd Borg\, will sign books\, read from their books\, and answer questions. Plus\, at least 15 local authors will sign and mingle!\nThis prank kicks off April: Local Authors Month. Grassroots will showcase books from 100+ local authors (no joke)!

SUMMARY:Yari Ostovany – Paintings | Savage Mystic Gallery\, Reno | April 2–25\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Savage Mystic Gallery in Reno\, Nevada\, is pleased to present “Yari Ostovany: Paintings\,” a solo exhibition of works by abstract painter Yari Ostovany\, on view April 2 through April 25\, 2026. \nOstovany’s paintings explore the expressive possibilities of abstraction through layered color\, gestural mark-making\, and luminous surfaces. Drawing on influences ranging from the spiritual traditions of Persian art and poetry to the legacy of Western abstraction\, his work creates contemplative visual spaces where intuition\, memory\, and presence converge. \nWorking primarily in oil on canvas\, Ostovany builds his paintings through successive layers of color and texture. Forms emerge\, dissolve\, and reappear across the surface\, suggesting shifting fields of energy\, atmosphere\, and light. \nOstovany studied art as an undergraduate at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and received his Master of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1995. His work has been exhibited widely in the United States and internationally\, including exhibitions in Paris\, London\, Cologne\, New York\, Los Angeles\, and Tehran. \nThe exhibition will conclude with an artist reception on April 25 from 6–9 p.m. Visitors will have an opportunity to meet the artist and view the exhibition on its final day. \nExhibition Details: \nYari Ostovany: Paintings\nSavage Mystic Gallery\n836 E Second Street\nReno\, NV 89502 \nApril 2 through April 25\, 2026\nArtist Reception: April 25\, 6–9 p.m. \nsavagemysticart.com\n775-444-4605
