For every five creatives that went to Blick’s to pick up a brush, canvas, and some acrylic paint tubes, there’s one that rummaged in their garage or a second-hand store for inspiration. The American Southwest artist participants of this show took a similar route, giving another look at an old clock or crate or maybe another sculpture and remixing it like a Daft Punk song. And Influence isn’t just a celebration of second-chance art, it’s a statement for the value — and beauty — of repurposing. Head over to City Hall on your lunch break and take in an exhibit that might look like your living room … after popping an edible.
It’s more than two weeks long, but who's counting? Three Square surely is, hoping to use that time to raise some very critical dollars for feeding the food-insecure in Southern Nevada (which numbers one in eight residents). The concept is simple: Participating dining locations — more than 200 were on offer in 2023 — feature a separate prix fixe menu and a portion of your bill goes to Three Square, which then prepares meals for those who need them. The promotion provides the perfect excuse to return to some of your old favorite spots — or try some new ones.
The Majorie Barrick Museum is fluid about a lot of things, especially how many exhibits it’s showing at any given time -- sometimes it’s one mega-show and a smaller display, sometimes it’s six different presentations. For about six more months, the city’s main contemporary art museum is going with three. Contemporary Ex-Votos -- the de facto headliner show -- pairs traditional Mexican art with works that broadly celebrate LatinX culture; In Relation combines pieces from the Barrick collection with new ones created by local artists to expand the notion of motherhood; and P0RTAL diversifies the hat trick with a showcase devoted to graphic design. As usual for the Barrick, lots of art -- and lots of variety.
This high-flying musical has been thrilling audiences of all ages for close to 70 years! There is excitement and adventure and there are a lot of timeless songs, including “I’m Flying,” “I’ve Gotta Crow,” “I Won’t Grow Up” and “Neverland.”
Peter Pan embraces the child in us all, so go on a journey from the second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning. This new adaptation is by celebrated playwright Larissa FastHorse, directed by Emmy Award-winner Lonny Price and with choreography by Lorin Latarro.

Las Vegas’ film festival schedule has grown significantly over the last 25 years, one of many signs that the city may become a Hollywood East industry outpost. One event that’s helped bolster our film-fest bona fides is the Nevada Women’s Film Festival, which celebrates 10 years this June, and serves up a robust program of 100-plus films by and about women — as well as live interviews, parties and awards ceremonies. This year’s host venue is UNLV’s Department of Film — a fitting setting given the festival’s start as a student club and its ongoing commitment to highlighting and supporting young women filmmakers.
