There’s never a shortage of things to see, hear, and do in Nevada. Here are some highlighted cultural events for the week starting August 26.
Through September 1
Vistas: Beauty of the Desert presents a series of landscape photographs made across Nevada, focusing on the state’s varied terrain and the quiet details that define it. The work highlights how scale, distance, and gradual change shape the experience of being in these environments. Rather than emphasizing well‑known destinations, the photographs draw attention to places that are often overlooked, where light, silence, and open space reveal the land’s history in plain view.
Melvin Morales is a Las Vegas–based artist whose work focuses on landscape photography.
On exhibit at West Charleston Library gallery through September 1.

With the aid of computers and software, artist David Jenkins explores the infinite detail of geometric equations and brings forth stunning images of hypothetical structures.
Fractal geometry describes mathematical-based structures. Within each structure are elements that are infinite in detail. Working on that brink, with features of galactic proportion, altered the artist's perception. Barriers between the mind and spirit fade, and each image becomes a window to the soul.
On exhibit at Clark County Library through September 20.

The Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month throughout September, exploring the intersection of culture, science, and innovation through special programming honoring Hispanic and Latino heritage. This year’s celebration launches Woven Throughout History – a new series exploring cultural values, beliefs, and stories expressed through textiles.
Programming includes an artist residency by Aleida Castro focused on the science of textile-making, cultural storytelling connecting tradition to innovation, and a spotlight on Hispanic contributions to science and technology.
