The Guide

Nevada State University’s Scorpion STEAM Academy week-long sessions invite young learners to immerse themselves in a dynamic educational experience blending science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

Designed for students entering third through eighth grade, the STEAM Academy offers week-long sessions that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students participate in hands-on activities that fuse science, technology, and the arts, empowering them to explore, create, and innovate in courses in a supportive and inspiring learning environment.

Each session runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 2 through July 25, with flexible options available for “Before-School” and “After-School” programming. The STEAM Academy’s diverse curriculum is tailored to different age groups, ensuring that students build new skills, make friends, and have fun while preparing for future academic success.

Now, don't let the word intensive intimidate you. This three-day dance workshop is an opportunity for high school dancers looking to train with collegiate professionals. It doesn't stop at jazz ad hip-hop choreography, but participants will also get to simulate game-day technique. And, not only do dancers get to learn from the Rebel Girls themselves, but their coaches, and local Vegas choreographers.

Note: Session 1 is from June 16 - 18.

There's a newcomer in town: Fallout Fringe. Organizers say the downtown-based band will "cater to challenging and bleeding edge work" with some 115-plus-performances, artist conversations, parties, and workshops.

The Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in the Mojave Desert south of Las Vegas is a space where all of us can connect with nature. Also known as Spirit Mountain, it was designated as a National Monument in 2023 because of its significant cultural importance and great biological diversity.

Artist Alina Lindquist immersed herself in Avi Kwa Ame National Monument as the artist in residence at Mystery Ranch, an artist studio and and science research center. This special exhibition showcases the artwork she created there.

It runs through August 27. There is a reception with the artist June 26 from 5 to 8 pm with the her talk starting at 6:00.

Featured are paintings, prints, and installation artwork inspired by the endangered and threatened fauna that make Nevada home.

Says Fulmer: “Fragile Desert grows out of my previous artwork inspired by Nevada and Mojave flora. Here, instead of flora, I look to interpret Nevada animal life, specifically a selection of animals listed under the federal Endangered Species Act.

These include the Mt. Charleston Blue Butterfly (Endangered), the Western, Yellow-Billed Cuckoo (Threatened), the Carson Wandering Skipper (Endangered), the Devils Hole Pupfish (Endangered), Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Endangered), and the Ash Meadows Naucorid (Threatened).

In this project, these Nevada fauna become the vehicle I use to investigate texture, pattern, repetition, color, progression, and variety throughout the gallery space.”

March 7 through June 20. Weekdays only, generally.
