Expect an exhilarating night of artful inspiration at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, where we will recognize local photographers with food, drinks, and celebration. We will also be announcing the winners of our 2024 Focus on Nevada photo contest, and unveil the June issue of Desert Companion.
We want your insight and thoughts for our show Wednesday morning. We'll be getting outdoors! Talking about hiking and more as we get into the spring/summer outdoor season. Call us with your tips, spots and ideas.
Hit the road, Desert Companion readers! And while you're at it, have a look around. This issue invites you to not only escape to the outdoors, but also to think about the environmental issues affecting our pursuits and our world.
