The Press has produced broadsides to honor university residencies by U.S. poets laureate Robert Pinsky and Billy Collins. Several broadsides were printed in conjunction with a national poetry broadside competition held in the 1990s; winning poets received cash awards and had their poems printed as broadsides. In recent years\, broadsides have been produced for the Robert Laxalt Distinguished Writers Award\, presented annually by the university’s Reynolds School of Journalism. Each broadside features a quotation from the writings of Robert Laxalt\, one of Nevada’s finest writers. Most of the broadsides in this exhibit were designed and printed by Bob Blesse\, director of the Press.

SUMMARY:Artown Opening Night: Scythian
DESCRIPTION:Washington D.C.-based Scythian (sith-ee-yin) began over 12 years ago as a bunch of college buddies playing Celtic music in the streets and has grown to be a headliner on the U.S. celtic festival circuit\, as well as a name in the Bluegrass/Americana festival circuit. They found that their brand of high-energy folk music found a resonance that led the Washington Post to state: “Scythian’s enthusiasm is contagious\, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing\, jumping around or hoisting glasses.” For over 12 years\, they have found success as an independent band and have played over 1\,300 shows all over the United States\, Europe\, Canada and as far aways as Australia. Founded by brothers Alexander and Danylo Fedoryka who are first-generation sons of Ukrainian immigrants\, Scythian from the start has been a search and love for the old time\, good time music of many cultures.

SUMMARY:Queer Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Public Arts is proud to present Queer Monuments juried by Emily Budd. \nQueer Monuments challenges the classical masculine and cultish notions of monuments and provides a platform for ephemeral and anti-monumental alternatives. Monuments are popularly seen as works of art that share the stories of people\, convey societal values\, and remind us of people’s lived histories; they are objects of remembrance. Anti-monuments take these basic premises and reappropriate them to tell the resilient stories of LGBTQIA+ people. The artists in this exhibition present personal monuments to the queerness in their lives. \nSculptor Emily Budd will lead as the exhibition’s juror\, infusing her expertise and passion into the selection process.

SUMMARY:Downtown Modernists "The New and The Now"
DESCRIPTION:Downtown is a concept\, not a location. Downtown is anywhere\, in any town. It’s where ideas flourish when artists mingled. The Downtown Group. The Downtown School. New ideas were born. The style was edgy and new and not widely accepted as art. \nJoin the Downtown Modernists in its introduction to the community. Founded in Reno\, Nevada\, in February 2023\, Downtown Modernists is a newly formed group of artists hailing from the Reno-Sparks and Truckee-Tahoe region working primarily in the abstract style who are seeking to build a coalition of like-minded artists for salons\, group shows\, and the exchange of ideas. Their goal is to bring their art to local audiences yearning for original\, modern\, and contemporary paintings. \nThis group show by Downtown Modernists features the work of Susan Christopher\, Joanna Drakos\, Jutta Gietl\, Ashley Gottlieb\, April Gratrix\, Andrea Laue\, and Jessamyn Parker. \nJoin the artists for their reception\, Tuesday\, July 9 from 5-7 p.m. The show runs from June 17 through July 26\, 2024\, at McKinley Arts Center\, Gallery West\, 925 Riverside Drive\, Reno\, NV 89503.

SUMMARY:Queer Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Public Arts is proud to present Queer Monuments juried by Emily Budd. \nQueer Monuments challenges the classical masculine and cultish notions of monuments and provides a platform for ephemeral and anti-monumental alternatives. Monuments are popularly seen as works of art that share the stories of people\, convey societal values\, and remind us of people’s lived histories; they are objects of remembrance. Anti-monuments take these basic premises and reappropriate them to tell the resilient stories of LGBTQIA+ people. The artists in this exhibition present personal monuments to the queerness in their lives. \nSculptor Emily Budd will lead as the exhibition’s juror\, infusing her expertise and passion into the selection process. Budd’s sculptural practice\, driven by the pursuit of queer futurity and place-making\, has garnered acclaim for its transformative narratives. Her project\, Memorial for Queer Rhyolite\, stands as a poignant tribute to an era marked by the AIDS epidemic\, capturing the essence of Nevada’s queer utopian spirit. Budd’s groundbreaking work has been featured in respected publications such as The Washington Post and showcased on Discovery Channel’s Mysteries of the Abandoned: Hidden America. \nExhibition Dates: Tuesday\, June 11\, 2024\, through Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 \nReception Event: Thursday\, July 25\, 2024\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. \nLocation: Winchester-Dondero Community Center is located at 3130 McLeod Drive\, Las Vegas NV 89121.

SUMMARY:Artown Native American Celebration: Pamyua
DESCRIPTION:Pamyua showcases Inuit culture though music and dance performance. The show is a platform to share indigenous knowledge and history. Their style derives from traditional melodies reinterpreted with contemporary vocalization and instrumentation. Often described as “Inuit Soul Music\,” Pamyua has discovered their own genre. Band members are proud to represent indigenous culture. The group believes unity is possible though music and dance. Together\, each member works to interpret Inuit traditions masterfully with joy and sincerity. The response to this message is tremendous as the group is a symbol of pride for Alaska’s indigenous people and to all who see them perform.

SUMMARY:Queer Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Public Arts is proud to present Queer Monuments juried by Emily Budd. \nQueer Monuments challenges the classical masculine and cultish notions of monuments and provides a platform for ephemeral and anti-monumental alternatives. Monuments are popularly seen as works of art that share the stories of people\, convey societal values\, and remind us of people’s lived histories; they are objects of remembrance. Anti-monuments take these basic premises and reappropriate them to tell the resilient stories of LGBTQIA+ people. The artists in this exhibition present personal monuments to the queerness in their lives. \nSculptor Emily Budd will lead as the exhibition’s juror\, infusing her expertise and passion into the selection process. Budd’s sculptural practice\, driven by the pursuit of queer futurity and place-making\, has garnered acclaim for its transformative narratives. Her project\, Memorial for Queer Rhyolite\, stands as a poignant tribute to an era marked by the AIDS epidemic\, capturing the essence of Nevada’s queer utopian spirit. Budd’s groundbreaking work has been featured in respected publications such as The Washington Post and showcased on Discovery Channel’s Mysteries of the Abandoned: Hidden America. \nExhibition Dates: Tuesday\, June 11\, 2024\, through Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 \nReception Event: Thursday\, July 25\, 2024\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. \nLocation: Winchester-Dondero Community Center is located at 3130 McLeod Drive\, Las Vegas NV 89121. The center is open Tuesday–Saturday\, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and closed Sunday and Monday. \nFor more information\, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/ccpublicarts or contact the Clark County Public Art Office at CCPublicArt@ClarkCountyNV.gov.

SUMMARY:Words + Images: Broadsides from the Black Rock Press
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Run: April 16 – Aug. 2\, 2024\nThalia Dondero Gallery\, CEB 2nd floorGlenn & Ande Christenson School of Education Building\nNevada State University1300 Nevada State DriveHenderson\, NV 89002\nM-F 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (Closed on July 4\, 2024)Free Parking\n\nNevada State University’s Office for the Arts presents “Words + Images: Broadsides from the Black Rock Press”\, featuring 34 broadsides produced at the Black Rock Press at the University of Nevada\, Reno using the letterpress process with handset type and relief plates. The printing was done on a Vandercook cylinder proofing press.\nSince it was founded by Kenneth J. Carpenter more than 40 years ago\, the Press has been dedicated to the practice and teaching of the arts and crafts associated with the creation of finely printed books. The Press now has a national reputation for its outstanding work and has become a living museum of traditional printing technology\, housing a variety of cabinets filled with metal type\, and a number of historically significant printing presses. Its centerpiece\, a gilded 1837 super-royal Columbian iron handpress\, is one of the finest examples of a nineteenth century iron handpress to be found anywhere in the country.\nLetterpress broadsides are created for numerous reasons\, frequently to honor a visiting writer at a campus event. The Press has produced broadsides to honor university residencies by U.S. poets laureate Robert Pinsky and Billy Collins. Several broadsides were printed in conjunction with a national poetry broadside competition held in the 1990s; winning poets received cash awards and had their poems printed as broadsides. In recent years\, broadsides have been produced for the Robert Laxalt Distinguished Writers Award\, presented annually by the university’s Reynolds School of Journalism. Each broadside features a quotation from the writings of Robert Laxalt\, one of Nevada’s finest writers. Most of the broadsides in this exhibit were designed and printed by Bob Blesse\, director of the Press. Others have also contributed\, including John Balkwill who was in residence as a book artist and printmaker at the Press during the mid-1990s. Former students assisted with the design\, production\, and illustration of the broadsides.\nBroadside writers include Marjorie Agosin\, Willis Barnstone\, Daniel Boorstin\, Andre Codrescu\, Billy Collins\, Hayden Curruth\, Carol V. Davis\, John Dofflemyer\, Joseph Duemer\, Gretel Ehrlich\, Martha Elizabeth\, A. Bartlett Giamatti\, Shaun T. Griffin\, James W. Hulse\, Linda Hussa\, Donna Johnson\, Robert Laxalt\, Wally McRae\, Joel Nelson\, Steven Nightingale\, Naomi Shahib Nye\, Gailmarie Pahmeier\, Robert Pinsky\, Kirk Robertson\, Gary Short\, Kevin Stevens\, Bill Stobb\, Michael White\, Terry Tempest Williams and Paul Zarzyski.\nABOUT Curated by Bob Blesse with Gallery Notes essay by Harry Reese and organized by the Nevada Arts Council\, “Words + Images: Broadsides from the Black Rock Press”\, is part of the Nevada Touring Initiative–Traveling Exhibition Program. It was funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Nevada Humanities\, and the Nevada State Legislature and an anonymous donor. The Nevada Arts Council is a division of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.###\nFor more information please contact:Stephen Reid – Artist Services Specialist\, Art Installer Nevada Arts Council I 775.687.7108 sreid@nevadaculture.org.
