The Guide

A lot of locally produced art is referential to Las Vegas culture, but this exhibit has some added dimension to it. The illustrations are done by local artist David Cooper, for whom nostalgia is an important theme. Those familiar with vintage motels will get plenty of that, and those who aren’t will get a visually enriching history lesson. Cooper gets an assist from local woodworker Korey Replogle, who crafts frames in the spirit and aesthetic of the motel being depicted in the print.

On top of that: Many of these motels were temporary shelters before they were boarded up and/or demolished. So, the artists are donating proceeds from the sale of a Blue Angel Motel piece to Shine a Light and Kline Veterans Fund. Both nonprofits help people who are housing-insecure. Free, but more about the show at "Get Tickets."

Note: Exhibit runs through April 24. Hours vary. Closed on Sunday.

Candace Nicol Garlock works in many mediums. The coalescence of printmaking techniques, painting, photography (and sculpture, too!) overlap and converge with color, texture, and line in a collaboration of mixed, experimental beauty. With her appreciation of the interconnectedness of everything, she elevates relationships: human and environment, human and animal, human and human.

Garlock was was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011, after many years of unexplained symptoms. In her work she explores the effects of the autoimmune disease "and the play between the nervous system and immune system, beginning to find beauty within the acceptance of pain.”

February 21 through April 26. Times might vary. In the Fine Arts Gallery.

In February of 2024, Las Vegas artist Harold Bradford collapsed because of heart problems, which resulted in blood clots and kidney failure. He was unable to walk, and his hands turned completely black and numb. They remain so to this day. He spent over a year in the hospital, rehabilitation centers, and living with his daughter in Oregon while he recovered. During the healing process, many doctors and nurses told him that he must have “a purpose”.

Creating art helped him to heal, and he believes his purpose is to continue sharing his gifts through art. This powerful exhibit is meant to display his purpose and to inspire others through what he has accomplished.

The art is on display April 16 through June 28. The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

A mesmerizing spectacle of magic, mischief, and pure childlike wonder that will transport you straight to Neverland, with Las Vegas as its first stop!

This four-day extravaganza goes deep on Vegas architecture, art, design, and culture. Some of the programs that make up this festival-of-sorts are walking tours, some are talks. You’ll hear from the people that made the Mirage volcano, may it rest in peace, as well as experts on casino carpeting. Yes, there are actually distinct strategies for picking those ornately designed carpets. I think there’s a movie premiere offered as well. The unifying thread seems to be that all the programs celebrate visual Las Vegas. And it finds unique takes and unexplored corners in that often lazily explored topic.

Las Vegas is a worldwide destination for those seeking an experience like no other, rooted in iconic architecture and shows. Duck Duck Shed offers insights from those that built — and continue to build — the luxurious casinos, mega-resorts, and productions that have earned it the title Entertainment Capital of the World. There will be tours, panels, and engaging discussions.

The free kick-off party is on the 24th at Binion's.
