Reno, NV – Metro Gallery presents Notions of Erasure: United By Territory, an exhibit that
provides an opportunity for the residents and visitors of [area] to view selected works
from the 2023 Nevada Arts Council Visual Arts Fellows.
This traveling exhibition, curated by the Nevada Arts Council’s Artist Services Program,
features 2023 fellows: Jeffrey Burden of Las Vegas, Glynn Cartledge of Reno, Gig Depio
of Las Vegas, Miya Hannan of Reno, Brent Holmes of Las Vegas, and Bobbie Ann Howell
of Las Vegas. Each artist created work independently of one another and with no
intention of ever appearing together; yet, when shown alongside one another, the
exhibit reveals how an artist’s place, time and environment can create unexpected
and unintended connections that share human experiences. This exhibit brings together
an extraordinary collection of unique artworks that span multiple media—from intimate
drawings and bold paintings to intricate textiles, delicate cut paper compositions, and
innovative digital creations.
The prestigious Nevada Arts Council Fellowship Award provides meaningful financial
support and enhanced public recognition to exceptional Nevada artists, fostering their
continued pursuit of artistic excellence and creativity.
The exhibit is part of the Nevada Touring Initiative (NTI) Traveling Exhibition Program ,
which delivers high-quality visual arts exhibits to communities throughout the state. It is
funded by the State of Nevada and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Nevada
Arts Council is a division of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.
The Nevada Arts Council, a division of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural
Affairs, was created as a state agency in 1967. With offices in Reno and Las Vegas,
Nevada Arts Council programs serve as a catalyst to stimulate artistic, creative, cultural,
and economic activity across the state, enliven its breadth of communities, ensure
lifelong learning in the arts for all Nevadans, and to encourage public and private
support for the arts.
