On Saturday, May 6, the Churchill Arts Council will host an artist talk and reception for Emily Najera and Michelle Laxalt.

Laxalt, formerly of Reno, will be exhibiting “The Soft Animal of Your Body,” which consists of ceramic sculpture and works on paper. Laxalt, who finished graduate school at Georgia West State University, resides in Atlanta.

Emily Najera is a visual storyteller based in Reno. Her research as a photographer examines forms of architecture as vernacular artifacts. Partnering with historic preservationists and urban planners, Emily documents and archives the changing landscape of city neighborhoods.

The artists’ talks begin at 5:30 p.m., with exhibitions on display in the E. L. Wiegand & Kirk Robertson Galleries through June 17. These exhibitions are also available for private viewing by calling 775-423-1440 or emailing [email protected]. For more information, visit www.churchillarts.org.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
