Selecting for specific wavelengths from the prismatic spectrum of color in natural light produces Austine Wood Comarow's 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.
After 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.
The 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.

Ancient Ordinary is a visual art exhibition by Alex Panzer and Kaleb Wesolek that aims to reflect on and reinterpret the objects that frequent our lives. This concept is explored through pieces that represent ordinary objects. The Artifacts, The Ancestor, The Sitter, and The Chair all presented as if stumbled upon by an archeologist of the future mulling over ancient humans.
The mundane suddenly becomes the most interesting without the context of the object. One of the most mundane and ubiquitous objects, the chair, was chosen for reinterpretation. Used simply to sit and rest, think, consume. What if our understanding of the mundane was not so obvious and universal? The Chair answers this question through re contextualization.

The Donna Beam Gallery presents the MFA Thesis Exhibition of Kayla Lockwood: read the fine print. Lockwood is a multidisciplinary artist whose work interrogates domesticity, memory, and emotional labor, challenging the myth of home as a stable cornerstone of the “American Dream.” She holds a BFA in Art & Technology from the University of Oregon and is currently pursuing her MFA in Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Lockwood’s read the fine print is a two-floor installation that examines how mid-century domestic ideology structured behavior, perception, and social hierarchy through spatial and material systems. Referencing the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation grading system and postwar suburban expansion, the installation reveals how access, mobility, and stability were unevenly distributed.
The exhibition runs April 13-24. A 1950s-themed closing reception (period clothing encouraged but not required) is April 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. An artist talk will take place on April 22 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Barrick Museum auditorium. All free, with more info at Get Tickets.
This week at the Lab: Homebound. Homebound is a riptide between longing and faultlines. Home is a transient state navigated, absorbed, and reflected through memory. Home is simultaneously shaped by nationalism and chaos. Through rose colored glasses and appropriated memory, Homebound, treads water in a sea of tension, making time for a short rest on the wreckage of a nearby ship.
The blind date pairs two artists together based on the content of their work, material approaches, and generates new absent collaboration (neither of the artists know who their collaborative partner is). Connecting artists across these criteria elevates the captivating properties of coincidence. You will have to go to see who they are.
The Lab is a temporary project space inside el Mercado at the Boulevard Mall. The project is run and designed by the Arts Community Coalition Nevada, a 501(c)(3) for the longevity of art in Nevada. Every week there's a new exhibition.
