This multi media group exhibition has works by Nevada-based artists Aimee Coello, Camile Lovaz, Rose Miller, Niko Navalta, Jessica Samaniego, Bella Sanabria, Montaysia Yuneek, and Arianna Zaremehrjardi. It runs February 13 through June 20. There will be a panel discussion and artist reception on June 11, starting at 6 pm.
To The Left explores the fertile ground between the tangible world and the limitless potential of "the possible." By presenting a collection of alternative realities, the exhibition serves as a portal into spaces where the rules of the everyday are rewritten. This multi-media group show bridges the gap between our current existence and the speculative futures or parallel dimensions envisioned by the artists. Each work functions as a unique snapshot of another universe, woven together into an open narrative that challenges viewers to look beyond the horizon of their own reality and consider the radical potential of the imagined.
The gallery is closed Saturday and Sunday.

Richard Strauss was one of the most brilliant orchestral composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His music demands technical precision, tonal depth, and expressive maturity from every section of the orchestra.
UNLV student musicians are tackling two of his most substantial works. Don Juan (1888) established Strauss as a major voice in European music — bold, virtuosic, and dramatically charged. The Suite from Der Rosenkavalier distills the richness of his famous opera into sweeping waltzes, lyrical solos, and complex orchestral textures.

Want to help shelter dogs get adopted? The Foster Field Trip Coffee Break gives dogs who most need a break from shelter life some time away where they can be out in the real world, relax and decompress, and show off their true personalities. And, you can provide shelter with photos or videos they can use to attract adopters.
And, yes, coffee is involved. The shelter provides a Starbucks coupon for you, while your new buddy will get a Puppuccino. You take photos and short videos to share. The shelter provides car protection, clean-up supplies, and safety gear.
Each day they highlight 3 to 5 dogs on their website. And, if hanging out at Starbucks isn't your thing, they also need folks for regular foster field trips.
