Staff Report
The Churchill Arts Council (CAC) will hold an opening reception for two new exhibitions presented through the Nevada Arts Council’s Nevada Touring Initiative (NTI), on Aug. 29, from 5–7:00 p.m. at the Oats Park Art Center.
The exhibitions include:
- Find Your Folklife, E.L. Wiegand Gallery – This exhibition explores the living traditions and cultural practices that shape everyday life in Nevada. From music and dance to food, festivals, and community gatherings, Find Your Folklife reminds us that folk culture is not only history, it is alive, evolving, and part of each of us.
- Notions of Erasure: United by Territory, Kirk Robertson Gallery – This exhibition provides the opportunity to view selected works from 2023 Fellows: Jeffrey Burden, Glynn Cartledge, Gig Depio, Miya Hannan, Brent Holmes and Bobbie Ann Howell. Each artist created work independently from the other and with no intention of ever appearing together; yet taken together, the exhibit reveals how an artist’s place, time and circumstances, create unexpected and unintended connections to the world around them.
The gallery reception offers an opportunity to experience these unique exhibitions, enjoy light refreshments, and connect with fellow community members. Admission is free and open to the public, and the Art Bar will be open. The showings will be on display until Oct. 11.
“These exhibitions showcase the diversity of Nevada’s culture and heritage, while also encouraging us to reflect on how traditions, memory, and place shape who we are as a community,” said CAC Executive Director, Robyn Jordan.
More information about these exhibits can be found online at churchillarts.org.
