The 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.
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.
The Thalia Dondero Gallery is a program of the Office for the Arts at Nevada State University. For more information about our arts programming, visit our webpage and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and X at @NevadaStateArts.

Thursday at 7:00 is one of the most relaxed, crowd-pleasing slots on the calendar.

Founded by guitarist Thomas Youngblood, Kamelot are veterans of the symphonic metal scene, known for cinematic staging, soaring vocals and, as Youngblood puts it, a night where “symphonic power and dark grandeur collide.” The Las Vegas stop features Visions of Atlantis as direct support and Frozen Crown opening — a full evening of European-flavored metal. House of Blues is an intimate general-admission-style room with strong sound and tight sightlines, well suited to the genre’s theatrical energy. It sits inside Mandalay Bay, connected by tram to the Luxor and Excalibur for easy access across the south Strip. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Thursday, September 3 at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club is a 9:30 PM show that pairs with the opening Wednesday of his fall residency. Carlos Mencia has been performing stand-up continuously for decades and shows no sign of slowing — his delivery is still urgent, his material still reaches into the uncomfortable corners of cultural life.
A September crowd on the Strip tends to be more local-leaning, and Mencia’s connection with Las Vegas audiences specifically gives these early-fall shows a distinctly different feel from the summer run.
