Please check out our latest CSN Art Gallery exhibition, "A Syncretic Reality: A College of Southern Nevada traveling exhibition featuring mixed media paintings by Nevada based artist and College of Southern Nevada adjunct faculty, Stanley Webb" on display now in the CSN Student Union on the Henderson Campus of the College of Southern Nevada. Stanley Webb was born in Detroit, MI. Education, advancement, and family was the backbone of his life. At a young age Webb attended The Detroit Institute of Arts Children’s program, where he was exposed to many of the artists from the African Diaspora. Their way of handling materials and how they express themselves through these mediums has always interested him. In his own work, Webb takes what he has learned over the intervening years and incorporates it into his own artistic expression and vision. Webb graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Michigan in 1984 and a Master of Fine Arts from Queens College in 1988 in Queens, NY.

This project is supported in part by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Clark County Public Art Office is pleased to announce a call for art for Reassembly Required, an art call that explores the themes of dismantling, assembly, and the creation of new works through manipulating materials. Submissions are due Sunday, July 7, at 11:59 p.m.

To apply, visit:

tinyurl.com/reassemblyrequired

All fields must be filled out on the application form; non-applicable fields must be filled in with "N/A."

Artists working in collage and assemblage are invited to submit their work, which challenges the notion of taking things apart and putting them back together. From cutting up photographs and fabric to assembling action figureheads with needle-nose pliers, the art call examines the creative process of destruction and reassembly. The juror for this exhibition is Jeannie Hua, a Las Vegas-based artist who has shown throughout Clark County and beyond! She primarily works in collage, making her a perfect artist to juror for this exhibition.
The best in Show will receive a $300 gift certificate, and two honorable mentions will receive a $150 gift certificate each. Awards will be distributed to artists in attendance at the exhibition reception.
