To commemorate the ten-year anniversary of the Basin and Range National Monument, three friends—Paula Garrett, Julian Kilker, and Checko Salgado—working with the Friends of Basin and Range National Monument curated a photography and video exhibition documenting this remote region of Nevada, one located several hours by car north of Las Vegas, Nevada. The Basin and Range National Monument was created by Presidential Proclamation on July 10, 2015, because of its unique geologic, natural, cultural, and scientific resources and values.
The exhibition also includes works by Fred Bell, Jim Boone, Glenn A. Davis (courtesy of Sarah Jones at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University Libraries, Special Collections and Archives), Steve Dudrow, Myron Hensel, Mike Hill, Rayette Martin, and Teresa Skye.
This event is free and open to the public. Let us know you are interested in attending.
This exhibition at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery is supported by Nevada Humanities’ generous donors.
