April 27 – June 18, 2026
The Metro Gallery presents Notions of Erasure: United By Territory, an exhibit that provides an opportunity for the residents and visitors to view selected works from the 2023 Nevada Arts Council Visual Arts Fellows.
This 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.
The 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.
The 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.

Amadour: Nevada Proscenium
2026-06-09 07:30 - 22:00, 2026-06-08 07:30 - 22:00 | Truckee Meadows Community College, 5270 Neil Road, Reno, NV, 89510, United States
Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) is pleased to present Amadour: Nevada Proscenium, a solo art show by Amadour. The exhibition is open for public viewing from May 18–June 18, 2026 in the Main Gallery located in the V. James Eardley Student Services Center in the Red Mountain Building at TMCC’s Dandini Campus. A public reception will be held on June 10 from 5–7 p.m. with an artist’s talk at 5:30 p.m. This exhibition marks Amadour’s first solo institutional exhibition in Nevada and a return to TMCC, where the artist previously studied.
Nevada Proscenium positions Nevada not as a passive backdrop, but as an active stage shaped by labor, memory, and systems of visibility. Through geometric abstraction, Amadour constructs architectural spaces that reference the state’s mining history, where modular forms echo the timbered frameworks that once organized underground labor while leaving its workers unseen.
Rejecting the myth of the West as an empty frontier, the exhibition foregrounds Nevada as a site of layered ecological, cultural, and political histories. Central to this inquiry is the enduring impact of extraction, both on the land and on the communities that have sustained it. Latinx presence, often excluded from dominant narratives, is embedded throughout the work as an essential and ongoing force in shaping the region.
Material and form operate together as carriers of meaning. Repetitive structures and shifting surfaces suggest both stability and erosion, while open spatial fields invite viewers into a space of reflection. The landscape here is not fixed or neutral; it is constructed, contested, and continuously redefined.
Rooted in Northern Nevada and shaped by personal and collective histories, Nevada Proscenium considers how place is experienced, remembered, and made visible. In doing so, the exhibition asks viewers to reconsider what they see when they look at the West and what remains just out of view.
The Main Gallery is located at 7000 Dandini Boulevard in the Red Mountain Building, Reno, NV, and is open during regular business hours. For more information about the exhibition, please visit the TMCC Art Galleries website.

All That You Ever Wanted/Todo Lo Que Siempre Quisistes: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Orlando Montenegro – Henderson
2026-06-09 07:00 - 17:00, 2026-06-08 07:00 - 17:00 | CSN Henderson Campus Art Galleries, 700 College Drive, Henderson, 89002, United States
The College of Southern Nevada, School of Arts & Letters, and Department of Fine Arts will host a traveling exhibition of mixed media artworks by Central American-born, Nevada-based artist and College of Southern Nevada adjunct faculty, Orlando Montenegro. All That You Ever Wanted/Todo Lo Que Siempre Quisistes: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Orlando Montenegro, will open on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, and will travel throughout the Las Vegas Valley with showings on the CSN Charleston campus (July 1, 2025 – Oct. 31, 2025), the North Las Vegas campus (Nov. 1, 2025 – Feb. 28, 2026), and the Henderson campus (March 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026). A special Gallery Talk and Artist Reception with light refreshments will take place on Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025, at 6 p.m. in the North Las Vegas Campus Tyrone Thompson Student Union Art Gallery. The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free, family-friendly, and open to the public.
Speaking of his life, Montenegro says, “I was born in Central America in the early 1980s. My father was a lawyer, and he got into some trouble, and my mother was an accountant, and she did not like the government at the time. They immigrated to the United States sometime in the late 80s because it seemed better economically, and they ended up working in casinos. I have two younger siblings who are nurses, and they are also married to nurses. I once almost passed out giving blood and looking at a documentary where there was blood, and I was not good at math in school, but I liked to draw. My Spanish vocabulary is not that good, but I can speak and read some of it at a basic level. I prefer to talk in English if I have to. It’s impressive how people can interpret words and images differently when they see things from their own point of view, and how their upbringing, education, and beliefs affect that point of view.”
Regarding his work, Montenegro continues, “We live in the richest country in the world, but it’s a pyramid scheme. I had surgery with insurance and paid an inflated amount, only to get another bill in the mail. I wish we had decent public transportation because gas is expensive, and people drive irresponsibly. I wanted to rent, but my mortgage is cheaper because I moved into a house before the pandemic. Home insurance and car insurance are also a scam, but I need them just in case. I don’t buy juice anymore, or cereal, or Mexican Coca-Cola. The price went up, and my Doctor said I should eat fruit and I should just drink water, because I need to worry about diabetes. He said juice is a scam.
I started using things like newspapers and food packaging because they relate to consumption and the economy. Food packaging is discardable, and it can be aesthetically pleasing depending on how it is designed. Advertisements can be beautiful or seductive, but the food flyers that I get in the mail are not considered beautiful. I am not saying they are either. I see some graffiti around town while driving, and I like the bold colors and line work. Some of it does not make sense and feels abstract or nonrepresentational. I don’t really remember what I thought when I first saw Andy Warhol’s soup can art in Professor Rico’s Art History class some twenty years ago. I am sure that at the time, I thought the book and his lectures were all gobbledygook because “art is supposed to be beautiful”.

Prairie Princess/Desert Dandy A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Lauren Myers Reese – Charleston
2026-06-09 07:00 - 17:00, 2026-06-08 07:00 - 17:00 | CSN Charleston Campus Student Union Art Gallery, Student Union Building, 6375 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV, 89146, United States
The College of Southern Nevada, School of Arts & Letters, and Department of Fine Arts is now hosting a traveling exhibition of text-based paintings by Nevada-based artist and College of Southern Nevada adjunct faculty, Lauren Myers Reese. Prairie Princess / Desert Dandy: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Lauren Myers Reese, opened on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, and will travel throughout the Las Vegas Valley with showings on the CSN North Las Vegas Campus (July 1, 2025 – Oct. 31, 2025), the Henderson campus (Nov. 1, 2025 – Feb. 28, 2026), and the Charleston campus (March 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026). A special Gallery Talk and Artist Reception with light refreshments will take place on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the Henderson Campus Student Union Art Gallery. The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free, family-friendly, and open to the public.
Lauren Myers Reese is an artist, educator, and arts administrator, and currently serves as an adjunct faculty member in the Art & Art History Program at the College of Southern Nevada. Reese received his Master of Fine Arts in visual art from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2022 and his Bachelor in Fine Arts in Studio Art from the University of Oklahoma, Norman, in 2012. Reese is a co-founder of the Vegas Institute for Contemporary Engagement, a research lab for art and experimentation. Before attending UNLV, Reese worked in a variety of roles, including independent curator, arts writer, nonprofit administrator, factory worker, educator, and art gallery director. Reese’s visual work has been shown across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Scotland, Estonia, and Colombia. His writings are found in the Jewish Studies Journal, Art Focus Oklahoma, Southwest Contemporary, and Settlers and Nomads.
Speaking of his work, Reese states, “This body of work layers texts from a variety of sources on the history of Nevada. These books focus on early and pre-Statehood Nevada, as well as contemporary issues like gendered work, sexuality, labor rights, and equality as it relates to the recent history of Las Vegas and Nevada. Combining historical nonfiction and accounts of the Las Vegas and Nevada area pre- and post-statehood, the work layers text to create alternative narratives, and puts a highlight on the missing parts of the narratives from traditional histories of the West. By layering texts from both historical first-hand accounts, primary sources, and contemporary artists living in Las Vegas, the words combine and layer to create a miasma of time. Time collapses as texts from a variety of writers and eras are layered on top of each other. It is a reimagined story and historical fiction told through the spaces between the words.”

Flux1: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Sherry Watkins – North Las Vegas
2026-06-09 07:00 - 17:00, 2026-06-08 07:00 - 17:00 | CSN North Las Vegas Art Galleries, 3200 E. Cheyenne Ave., North Las Vegas, NV, 89030, United States
The College of Southern Nevada, School of Arts & Letters, and Department of Fine Arts will host a traveling exhibition of acrylic paintings by Nevada-based artist and College of Southern Nevada Performing Arts Center box office supervisor, Sherry Watkins. Flux1: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring the work of Sherry Watkins, will open on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, and will travel throughout the Las Vegas Valley with showings on the CSN Henderson Campus (July 1, 2025 – Oct. 31, 2025), the Charleston Campus (Nov. 1, 2025 – Feb. 28, 2026), and the North Las Vegas Campus (March 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026). A special Gallery Talk and Artist Reception with light refreshments will take place on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the North Las Vegas Campus, Tyrone Thompson Student Union Art Gallery. The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free, family-friendly, and open to the public.
Originally from Illinois, Sherry Watkins has lived in Las Vegas for nearly 50 years. She attended Clark High School, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the College of Southern Nevada. Watkins has been painting for over a decade, working primarily in abstract styles. Her work explores various techniques, including fluid pouring and original design methods. Watkins uses a wide range of tools and materials to achieve distinctive effects and embraces experimentation and creative risk in her process. While she occasionally paints traditional subjects—such as characters, still lifes, and landscapes—Watkins is most drawn to the expressive freedom of abstraction.
Speaking of her work, Watkins states, “Most of my work comes from trial and error, a willingness to explore new methods, opening my boundaries to include what I might not at first be comfortable with, and sometimes just pure luck. I enjoy the freedom of abstract art. I like the power of creating something that did not previously exist. I have AD/HD. When I was doing more “traditional” painting, such as still life and landscapes, I ended up with a lot of unfinished paintings. I would be on to the next idea before finishing what I was working on. With abstract art, only the artist knows when it is truly finished. Abstract art gave me the freedom to be able to paint without the anxiety of not completing my work and leaving paintings half done.”
The CSN Student Union Art Galleries are free, family-friendly, and open to the public. Gallery hours vary by campus and semester. Please visit CSN Student Unions page for current hours of operation for current hours of operation.

Luenell at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club
2026-06-08 21:30 - 2026-06-09 00:00 | NV
Two nights in a row at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — catch the Monday, June 8 installment of Luenell’s extended Las Vegas residency at 9:30 PM at The LINQ.
Luenell’s comedy is observational in the truest sense: she turns lived experience into laugh-out-loud material without softening the edges. The intimate room at The LINQ Promenade puts you close enough to feel every punchline land, and Monday crowds in Las Vegas have a well-earned reputation for being especially ready to let loose.

Comedy Cellar
2026-06-08 21:30 - 2026-06-09 00:00 | NV
Monday late shows at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas pull a sharp crowd. The 9:30 PM slot at the Rio on June 8 means you’re in the room with people who came for stand-up specifically, not as part of a broader night out, and the comics respond to that kind of focused attention.
The showcase format here is genuinely different from how most clubs are structured. Instead of an opener, a middle act, and a single headliner, you get five headliners sharing the bill. Each does 15 to 20 minutes. The rotating lineup changes weekly, the room is underground and intimate, and 90 minutes of this caliber of stand-up in Las Vegas is worth a Monday night.

Michael Loftus
2026-06-08 20:00 - 22:30 | NV
Monday, June 8 at 8:00 PM — Michael Loftus kicks off his Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club run at MGM Grand, and a Monday show here is its own kind of reward for people who know where the real comedy is in Las Vegas.
Loftus is a veteran stand-up and TV writer with over two decades on stage, known for sharp political comedy and the kind of center-right humor that doesn’t pull punches. The MGM Grand room gives him the right setting to do exactly what he does best.

Dive In Movie - A Minecraft Movie
2026-06-08 20:00 - 22:30 | NV
Monday, June 8 at 8:00 PM, the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas kicks off its summer Dive In Movie series at Boulevard Pool with A Minecraft Movie — the first screening of the season, four stories above the Strip on a 65-foot digital marquee.
The Cosmo’s outdoor pool cinema is one of the more genuinely fun summer traditions in Las Vegas: warm air, water, and a crowd that treats the pool deck like a neighborhood block party. Doors open at 6:30 PM, so get there early and settle in.

Mondays Dark to Benefit Vegas Raider Dad

The mission of Mondays Dark is to raise $10K in 90 minutes.

Monday, June 8 at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — Josh Wolf returns for another week of his ongoing Las Vegas residency, 7:30 PM on the Strip.

He genuinely loves performing in this room, and that energy is palpable from the front row to the back.

Percy Crews
2026-06-07 20:00 - 22:30 | NV
Percy Crews closes out his opening-week Las Vegas run at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club on Sunday, June 7th, wrapping seven nights inside MGM Hotel and Casino at 8:00 PM.
His Dry Bar Comedy and Showtime at the Apollo exposure have made him a known quantity on the national touring circuit, but his live show still feels kinetic and present — the kind of headliner who hasn’t started coasting yet and shows no signs of starting. A Sunday closer from a comic who has been rolling all week is a satisfying and energetic way to end a Las Vegas weekend. If you haven’t caught him yet, tonight is the show.
