This is a dynamic exhibit, curated by Brent Holmes, showcasing the work of several local creatives, including multi-hyphenate artist Ashanti McGee (also a curator), painter Joseph Watson (also a children’s book illustrator), and poet Vogue Robinson (also a painter). This, too, honors the African diaspora and Black American experience; this exhibit’s unofficial statement is “Black life is American life.”
This one opened up back in February to commemorate Black History Month, but the City scheduled this to stay up for another six months. Which means you have until August 7 to check it out, which you can do Monday through Thursdays, again, at City Hall.
On display are drawings, mixed media, and installation artwork by South Korean native and UNLV Visiting Assistant Professor of Art Jung Min. Her works examine the tension between tradition and Western influence. It reflects the discomfort and internal conflict she experiences as part of a younger Korean generation navigating cultural identity, individuality, and shifting values.
July 18 through September 20. Artist Talk and Reception: Wednesday, September 17.
