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:LUNCHEON TALK ON THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS
DESCRIPTION:AMERICAN HERITAGE PARTNERS ANNOUNCES LUNCHEON TALK ON THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS\nAmerican Heritage Partners (AHP)\, a Nevada-based non-profit institution dedicated to presenting educational programs on American history\, is pleased to announce the next luncheon in its “Distinguished Authors Lecture Series\,” featuring guest speaker Rachel Christ-Doane\, the Director of Education at the Salem Witch Museum in Salem Massachusetts. Ms. Christ-Doane is a recognized expert on the Salem Witch Trials in 1692\, and has authored and lectured frequently on this topic\, one that is both colorful and tragic. Many historians consider the witch trials to be a black mark in our early American history\, and August was a particularly noteworthy month in the history of the witch trials\, as the very first hangings took place on August 19\, 1692. Recognizing the significance of this\, on the 300th anniversary of those hangings in August 1992 Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel dedicated the first Witch Trials Memorial in Salem. The Witch Trials Museum is the most visited attraction in Salem\, attesting to the public’s enduring interest in the 17th century hysteria that the Salem witch trials embodied. \nWHEN: August 25 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm\nWHERE: The Atlantis Resort\, Paradise Ballroom \, 3800 South Virginia Street\, Reno\, NV\nCOST: $35 per person (Registration Includes lunch) \nThe luncheon will be co-sponsored by the Nevada Mayflower Society\, The Order of the Founders and Patriots of America AND THE Sons of the American Revolution-Battle Born Patriots Chapter\, and will take place on August 25 from 11:30 to 1:30 in the Paradise Ballroom of the Atlantis Casino Resort. The program is suitable for all ages\, and school-age children are welcome to attend.  Says AHP’s President Jay Dickey\, “our goal is to inform and educate our citizens about the important events that shaped American history. The Salem Witch Trials were a watershed moment in the early life of our country\, and the trials still resonate today as an object lesson on the importance of the rule of law and our constitutional right to trial by jury.” \nABOUT AMERICAN HERITAGE PARTNERS\nAmerican Heritage Partners\, founded in 2021\, has been sponsoring educational programs in several western states\, most recently in California\, Nevada and Arizona. AHP recently added to its Board of Directors Mr. Jim McLane\, who also serves as its Treasurer. Mr. McLane is the current Treasurer for the Nevada Society of the Sons of the American Revolution as well as the Nevada Society of Scottish Clans. Later this year AHP will announce several grants and awards to organizations and individuals who actively promote the teaching of American history.\nFor more information\, and to register for the luncheon\, go to AHP’s website\, www.americanheritagepartners.org

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.
