SUMMARY:Mural Unveiling – A Desert Dreamscape by Eric Vozzola
DESCRIPTION:Nevada State University\nScorpion DenRogers Student Center – RSC\, First floorParking is free\nMaps\n\nJoin us for the Scorpion Den Open House as NSSA showcases the newly renovated space. This event includes the unveiling of a new mural\, “A Desert Dreamscape” by Eric Vozzola\, which was commissioned by NSSA with support from the Office for the Arts.\n\nEric Vozzola is a Las Vegas-based artist known for vibrant color palettes and imagery inspired by the desert landscape he calls home. His work blends fine art and design principles—balancing geometry\, abstraction\, and organic realism to create immersive\, uplifting visual experiences rooted in thoughtful storytelling and site-specific design.\n\nA commissioned muralist since 2014 and a full-time professional artist since 2019\, Vozzola developed his artistic approach alongside a graphic design career after earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas in 2011. His background in design\, illustration\, and art direction continues to shape his collaborative and adaptable approach to large-scale public artworks and boutique commissioned works\, alike. As a husband and father raising his family in his hometown of Las Vegas\, Vozzola draws continued inspiration from the desert environment\, community\, and sense of place that have shaped both his life and his work.\n\nEric’s fine art\, design\, and murals can be found throughout southern Nevada and across the country\, including Oregon\, Florida\, and Georgia. He has partnered with public agencies\, schools\, hospitals\, cultural institutions\, global brands\, businesses\, and private collectors — always guided by the belief that art and design should be meaningful\, accessible\, and deeply connected to its environment.

SUMMARY:Desert Altars: A Iyawó’s Journey of Softness\, Surrender & Spirit.
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of her first solo exhibition with Clark County Public Arts in 2024\, Afro-Indigenous multidisciplinary artist Christina Monique Flores-Escobar\, known professionally as Psychedelicchola\, will debut her second solo exhibition\, Desert Altars: A Iyawó’s Journey of Softness\, Surrender & Spirit. \nCreated over the course of her iyaworaje\, the sacred year following initiation in the Lucumí tradition\, Desert Altars is\, to the best of the artist’s knowledge\, the first Nevada-based solo body of work dedicated entirely to an artist’s iyaworaje. Through contemporary painting\, the exhibition documents a year of spiritual transformation\, healing\, ancestral connection\, and self-discovery. \nThe collection also intentionally centers larger-bodied Black and Brown women as sacred subjects. In a visual culture where larger-bodied women\, particularly women of color\, are rarely depicted as divine or spiritually powerful\, Desert Altars reimagines the body as an altar\, challenging conventional narratives surrounding beauty\, worthiness\, and spirituality. \nRooted in the Mojave Desert\, the exhibition brings together painting\, storytelling\, and personal testimony to create an immersive experience that expands conversations around identity\, contemporary spirituality\, representation\, and the evolving landscape of Nevada’s visual arts community. \nWith Desert Altars\, Psychedelicchola continues to position Nevada as a place where innovative contemporary art can emerge from deeply personal narratives while contributing new perspectives to the state’s cultural landscape. Attendees can register by scanning the QR code on the flyer or by visiting the link on her Instagram.

SUMMARY:Notions of Erasure: United by Territory
DESCRIPTION:Nevada State University\nThalia Dondero Gallery\, Christenson Education Building – CEB Second Floor\nMonday-Friday during regular hours of operation\nFree parking and open to the public\nMaps and hours of operation \nExhibition run: Aug. 31 – Dec. 4\, 2026\nReception: Oct. 14\, 2026 5:00 – 7:00 PM \nThe Thalia Dondero Gallery presents “Notions of Erasure: United By Territory\,” an exhibit that provides an opportunity for the residents and visitors of the Vegas Valley to view selected works from the 2023 Nevada Arts Council Visual Arts Fellows. The exhibition is on view at Nevada State University through Dec. 4\, 2026. \nThis traveling exhibition\, curated by the Nevada Arts Council’s Artist Services Program\, features 2023 fellows: Jeffrey Burden of Las Vegas\, Glynn Cartledge of Reno\, Gig Depio of Las Vegas\, Miya Hannan of Reno\, Brent Holmes of Las Vegas\, and Bobbie Ann Howell of Las Vegas. Each artist created work independently of one another and with no intention of ever appearing together; yet\, when shown alongside one another\, the exhibit reveals how an artist’s place\, time and environment can create unexpected and unintended connections that share human experiences. This exhibit brings together an extraordinary collection of unique artworks that span multiple media—from intimate drawings and bold paintings to intricate textiles\, delicate cut paper compositions\, and innovative digital creations. \nThe prestigious Nevada Arts Council Fellowship Award provides meaningful financial support and enhanced public recognition to exceptional Nevada artists\, fostering their continued pursuit of artistic excellence and creativity. \nThe exhibit is part of the Nevada Touring Initiative (NTI) Traveling Exhibition Program \, which delivers high-quality visual arts exhibits to communities throughout the state. It is funded by the State of Nevada and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Nevada Arts Council is a division of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. \nThe Thalia Dondero Gallery is a program of the Office for the Arts at Nevada State University.
