"Lions, Tigers and Cheetahs" by Kat Ryals
The Afterparty featuring artists Deborah Newman and Kat Ryals
Oct. 16, 2025 - Jan. 23, 2026
Free and open to the public.
The Afterparty brings together the work of Deborah Newman and Kat Ryals, two artists whose practices explore into the allure, excess and inevitable decay of consumer culture filtered through the distinct lens of Las Vegas. Their work forms a layered dialogue about artifice, aspiration and the fleeting nature of spectacle in a city built on illusion.
Ryals’ Showroom Dynasty series features opulent, yet subversive velvet-printed rugs inspired by casino carpets and European textiles. These installations evoke the extravagance of Las Vegas interior pools, buffets, and neon-lit lobbies, while subtly undermining that glamour using salvaged and discarded materials. Her lush surfaces both seduce and critique, exposing the instability of luxury and the constructed nature of wealth.
Newman’s oil paintings depict fragments of abandoned signage with a mix of abstraction and nostalgia. Layers of brushwork and unfinished sections evoke a haunting sense of loss, as if the once-vibrant language of neon and advertising is slowly disintegrating. Her compositions invite viewers to confront the erosion of commercial dreams and the impermanence of cultural icons.
Together, Ryals’ maximalist, texture-driven installations and Newman’s atmospheric, deconstructed landscapes explore the paradoxes of Las Vegas: opulence and obsolescence, permanence and performance. The Afterparty is both a celebration and an elegy, an invitation to consider what remains when the curtain falls, the lights go out, and the fantasy ends.

A Visual Mixtape
Solo Exhibition of Paintings by Don Michael, Jr.
Oct. 30, 2025 - March 4, 2026
"A Visual Mixtape" is a solo exhibition that celebrates the deep, enduring connection between music and visual art. Through acrylic paintings on canvas, the artist reinterprets iconic album covers and creates stylized portraits of the musicians behind the music. Each painting invites viewers to explore the emotional and cultural impact of music through a fresh visual lens.
This exhibition features a curated collection of 12"x12" reinterpretations of record albums spanning genres and eras — from classic blues to contemporary pop — alongside larger portraits of musicians in performance. Themes of nostalgia, identity, and the transformative power of music run throughout, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own connections to the sounds and imagery that have shaped generations.

Dave Rowe: Fields
An Exhibition of Sculptural Works by Dave Rowe
Aug. 14-Dec. 18, 2025
Dave Rowe is a sculptor and educator based in Las Vegas whose work explores the layered intersections of landscape, history and the shifting spaces within the American psyche. Deeply influenced by his Midwestern upbringing and extensive travels through the region, Rowe draws on the visual language of abandoned factories, neglected barns and industrial ruins. Using multiple materials, found objects, and an almost obsessive drive to build, Rowe constructs sculptures that examine masculinity, labor and the emotional residue of place. His work often incorporates architectural and landscape-based forms, evoking themes of physical labor and its connection to male identity, while also reflecting on the evolving documentary role of contemporary American landscapes.

Family Album
Presented by the city of Las Vegas, Las Vegas Museum of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Through Jan. 9, 2026
In Family Album, an intergenerational roster of artists examines the ways in which personal and collective histories are constructed through the visual language of family photographs. Addressing physical, political and emotional aspects of home, including segregation, displacement and belonging in today’s American neighborhoods, the artists draw directly from their personal archives in some instances, or in others reimagine the conventions of the family snapshot. Drawing on the power of photography, a medium closely tied to memory, to summon the textures of daily life and the presence of loved ones, Family Album is a meditation on how community is recalled, represented and reimagined.
Artists in the exhibition include Laura Aguilar, Lyle Ashton Harris, Renee Cox, Delilah Montoya, Consuelo Kanaga, Max Yavno, Carlee Fernandez, Chino Otsuka, Anthony Hernandez, Sadie Barnette, Janna Ireland, Dannielle Bowman, Deborah Willis, Hank Willis Thomas, Tony Cokes, Star Montana, Micaiah Carter, Tyler Mitchell, Zora J Murff and Sandra de la Loza.

See the Music All Around Us by Loisse Ledres
Oct. 20, 2025, through March 20, 2026
Artist Reception Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m.
From the Artist:
See the Music All Around Us is a vibrant installation celebrating the universal joy of music, a central element to Vegas life and culture. This display of wood, paint and light is a dedication to music's impact on our lives, capturing how rhythm, lyrics and melodies support our instinctual desire to understand ourselves and our place in the world. This series has three abstracted figures in motion, with arms, legs and expressions flowing in different directions, reflecting the flashes of memories that linger after a night of dancing — glimpses of lights, sounds and energy. Bass notes, melodies and harmonies brought to life through colors and shapes. This fragmented, energetic portrayal captures the universal thrill of moving to music, also reminding us of music's familiar but far-reaching power to unite people across cultures and generations. This layered, unstructured style resonates with the essence of Las Vegas itself — a city that flourishes from the uniqueness and diversity of its residents’ creative spirits.
Loisse Ledres is a visual artist whose guiding purpose is adding color to community.
