The College of Fine Arts/Clark County partnership continues at 7 p.m. on April 10 with the "Environment — Built/Natural Q&A" at the Composers Showroom located in historic Commercial Center, 953 E. Sahara Ave. The event is free and open to the public.
When we examine the physical spaces around us, they represent a dichotomy: natural and built. While built environments are constantly in a state of flux, shifts in the natural environment are often measured in millennia. This contrast, of temporary and permanent and of human-influenced and natural, is the topic of this compelling event. Experience a multitude of student-created works that reference this concept as a way of understanding our collective place in the world. A Q&A session with the creators of the works is included as part of the evening.
Reservations can be made by visiting the Composers Room website.
Arts in the Center will feature a varied array of music, visual arts, film and theatre events through June 5, all of which are free and open to the public (reservations may be required).
Among the selections during its inaugural season will be evenings of jazz featuring the UNLV Joe Williams Quintet, an environmentally-based and arts-focused program, a comedy night, the immersive theatre experience Parking Lot Plays, and a screening of a new documentary about Historic Commercial Center.
Arts in the Center is the first public demonstration of a new partnership that has been forged between Clark County and UNLV’s College of Fine Arts. Its purpose is to expand the reach of arts programming created at UNLV while providing free quality arts programming to the community at large.
