Three years later, SPCKRFT, in collaboration with Nevada Humanities and VIM Magazine, revisits the performers and stage staff affected by the sudden disappearance of live entertainment in the Entertainment Capital of the World.

This photojournalism exhibition features photos captured through the lenses of Nevada’s visual journalists, spotlighting local performers who had found themselves stranded from the stage, and forced to find new ways to get by amid the unrelenting pandemic. 

Photojournalists featured in this exhibition include Rachel Aston, Benjamin Hager, Ellen Schmidt, and Chase Stevens from the Las Vegas Review-Journal; Christopher DeVargas, Steve Marcus, and Wade Vandervort from Greenspun Media Group publications; and freelance/local photojournalists Bridget Bennett, Ronda Churchill, Mikayla Whitmore, Aaron Mayes, and original exhibition curator Miranda Alam.

The exhibition opens on First Friday, November 3, 2023, at 7 pm, with a soft opening on Preview Thursday, November 2. A closing reception at the end of the month will follow. The exhibition can be viewed throughout November by appointment only.
