The new Las Vegas performance venue challenges musicians and visual artists to produce content for its demanding format

Many would agree that Dr. Uscher’s career is a work of art. With a decades-long devotion to music—first through performing, then teaching, and now leading—she has created a canvas for the arts to survive and thrive.

As a mariachi group plays, a crowd spills out of UNLV Grant Hall Gallery into the space outside to enjoy the music, holding plates of food from Chef Loui. Others remain inside the gallery, looking at art and buying zines. Scrambled Eggs has done it again: a unique reception to open a pop-up exhibition, this time gathering artists previously shown in solo exhibitions into one group show. It solidifes Scrambled Eggs’ status as true artist collective.

Food writer Kim Foster explores these associations and more, as part of UNLV’s University Forum Lecture series in collaboration with the Black Mountain Institute

One of UNLV’s biggest crowd-pleasers, the annual Art Walk is a campus-wide open house, where the public gets to see all kinds of exhibitions and performances up close and in person.

It started as a crude sketch — a circle with a stick person inside. Seven years later, that drawing has been made real: A $2.3 billion massive spherical venue standing 366 feet high and lighting up the Las Vegas skyline.

All eyes are on the Sphere this weekend, as the one-of-a-kind event and entertainment venue — which has garnered worldwide attention for its unique architectural and technological design — celebrates its grand opening in Las Vegas.

While the technological marvels of the Sphere have dazzled tourists and locals, UNLV Professor Glenn Nowak sees the building that opens its doors Friday from a different perspective.

The Sphere is years in the making with a hefty price tag of $2.3 Billion. CEO James Dolan would surely like to start making that money back.
