The Guide

Experience the holidays like never before with the Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum’s annual tradition, A December to Remember. This year’s exhibition explores a powerful idea: culture and science are deeply intertwined – the food we make, the songs we sing, the decorations we choose, and the ways we adapt to winter all have scientific foundations.

This museum-curated, community-created exhibition features original artwork from local artists of all ages, cultural workshops, and weekend science exploration experiences, connecting cherished holiday traditions to the biology, chemistry, and physics hiding inside them. Come discover the real stories, traditions, and voices that make our Southern Nevada community so beautifully diverse.

The museum is looking for 2D and 3D artwork from the community inspired by how people seek light, warmth, and connection across cultures. Submissions can be made through November 13. Find out more at Get Tickets.

This exhibition of art by Nevada-based artist, writer, curator, and educator ¡Katie B Funk! runs through March 13. There will be a Gallery Talk and Artist Reception on March 10, beginning at 6 p.m.

¡Katie B Funk! is an internationally exhibiting artist, writer, curator, and educator. She says she was born on a Friday night under a waning crescent moon in South Bend, Indiana. She got the chance to haphazardly construct a double-bottled tornado maker in preschool - a project that remains a pivotal core memory. Once a pile of Barbasol shaving cream was plopped in front of her to play with in the early days of kindergarten, ¡Katie B Funk! knew that making things out of something else was all she wanted to do in life.

A space that doesn't exist until you hear it. DARKFIELD is a collection of immersive audio experiences in complete darkness, inside custom-built shipping containers at AREA15. You take your seat in a real set before the lights go out. In the dark, 360° binaural sound takes over, and your brain trusts what it has already seen, so what you hear feels real.
 
Three experiences: 
* SÉANCE: a séance guided by a medium you'll never see.
* FLIGHT: between takeoff and landing, reality splits.
* PLACEBO: a collective dream you didn't agree to.

Experience one, two or all three in a single visit.
 
Monday, and Wednesday through Saturday. Spanish-language sessions Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Age 13+. Private bookings for groups. Runs through January.

“Life in Death: Day of the Dead" returns with displays, an art exhibit, performances, craft sales, and food vendors. On display will be “ofrendas,” the altars built by families and others in memory of deceased relatives or other beloved individuals. The ofrendas are elaborate works of art, detailed and sometimes large in size, and will be displayed outdoors in Winchester Park.

There will be Mexican dance and music and readings of “calaveras,” or “skulls,” which are satirical poems written to commemorate people who are still alive. The poems treat the menace of death with good-natured humor.

Free to attend. More info at Get Tickets.

Sam hosts a makeshift internet talk show from the basement of his father’s crumbling urban home. Upstairs, the older generations of the family struggle to coexist, barely managing to communicate despite sharing the same roof. When a long-lost uncle reappears, the fragile balance is disrupted and the men are forced to confront their past, the present, and the stark reality of their uncertain futures. Darkly comic and sharply observant, Talk Show blends humor and pathos in a portrait of one family’s desperate attempt to stay connected.

No performance on October 31.
