Nevada Humanities presents Mojave Shadows—a collaborative art and science exhibition exploring the vital role of shade in sustaining life in the Mojave Desert, featuring photography, painting, illustration, and essays created at Avi Kwa Ame National Monument—on display at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery from March 5 to May 27, 2026. This exhibition is curated by Steve Dudrow and includes works by DeAnna Beachley, Sydney Carnevale-Baker, JT Dudrow, Steve Dudrow, Matthew Flores, Alex Harper, Paula Jacoby-Garrett, Aaron Leifheit, Teresa Skye, and Emma Woods.

Join us on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, for a reception and curator’s talk. The reception will be from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, and the curator’s talk will begin at 6:00 pm.

This exhibition at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery is supported by Nevada Humanities’ generous donors. Mojave Shadows also received support from the Beverly Rogers and Carol C. Harter Black Mountain Institute and Mystery Ranch, a desert research station, nature preserve, and arts residency located within the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument.

This event is free and open to the public. Let us know you are interested in attending.
