The Guide

“Maladaptive Daydreaming” is an exhibition of works by 16 students from the College of Southern Nevada's Art and Art History Program, with works including ceramics, digital media, drawing, metalwork, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

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.

Runs through June 28.

On the music front, another Vegas cultural tradition resurfaces: DjangoVegas! at the Historic Fifth Street School.

Award-winning entertainer Cali Tucker was called by People Magazine a “blend of sweet and sassy…addictive.” With her powerhouse voice, infectious humor, and electric stage presence she'll perform a mix of pop and country tunes, along with a few originals.

A day later over at UNLV’s Artemus Ham Hall, the Las Vegas Men’s Chorus will finish its 32nd season with its Broadway Our Way program, and yes, Wicked will be on the program.
