There’s still time to experience “Notions of Erasure: United by Territory” before it closes Aug. 21. 🎨

On view through Aug. 21 at West Wendover City Hall, this exhibition brings together selected works by six 2023 Nevada Arts Council Visual Arts Fellows: Jeffrey Burden, Glynn Cartledge, Gig Depio, Miya Hannan, Brent Holmes, and Bobbie Ann Howell.

Each artist created their work independently, never intending for it to be shown together. Yet side by side, the works reveal unexpected connections shaped by place, time, and the circumstances around us.

📍 West Wendover City Hall
📅 Through Aug. 21
