Powered by wish families, volunteers, and supporters, Walk For Wishes is a nationwide Make-A-Wish fundraiser celebrating thousands of wishes that have already been granted while raising funds for future wishes. This year’s event hopes to raise $500,000 to help grant life-changing wishes for more than 250 children in Nevada who are waiting for their wishes to come true.

The dog-friendly walk will feature the popular Touch-A-Truck area, a petting zoo, face painting, games, food trucks, photo opportunities with characters from favorite children’s movies....and much more. Participants can sign up to walk, donate to a walker, or organize a team.

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.

There is definitely a type of artist that appeals to the NPR crowd, and singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson is it. He doesn’t come by these parts often, so this is a treat, especially because his recent concerts have been clocking in at north of three hours. That’s almost as long as Killers of the Flower Moon, a movie he starred in.

Take your dancing shoes and groove to classic yacht rock tunes from a live band. Enjoy a meow-mosa or other cocktail and hit the best brunch buffet on the high seas! Also, live and silent auctions. Don your captain’s hat and Hawaiian shirts…because nautical attire is highly encouraged!

Sample the traditions, music, and flavors of the Caribbean. Calypso, reggae, and traditional Cuban music will be performed, and there will be kids' activities, community exhibitors, artisan vendors, and food trucks.

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.
