The Barrick Museum is throwing a party to kick off the new school year and celebrate its new status as a museum focused primarily on fine arts and cultural history.
The Rebel Art Party will take place in the museum’s historic exhibition hall - one of the oldest buildings on the UNLV campus - amidst the museum’s extensive permanent collection and the photography exhibition “Great Basin Exteriors.”
Food and refreshments will be served, a food truck will be parked at the museum’s entrance and Vegas-based DJ Scream will perform on the museum’s garden patio. Students, faculty and staff can create their own spin-art painting at a spin-art booth or stop by the airbrush tattoo booth. Local artists will also be painting and sculpting at the museum.
“The Rebel Art Party gives visitors a chance to learn more about the Barrick and its programs and events, and learn how students and community members can become more involved at the museum,” said Aurore Giguet, program director for the Barrick Museum.
Admission Information: Event is free and open UNLV Students, Faculty and Staff.

A new exhibition at the UNLV Barrick Museum, Lost Places in the Mojave: Photographs by Julian Kilker, brings Las Vegas photographer Julian Kilker’s innovative technique to bear on the decay and ruin that fill the human landscape. Kilker feels that decay evokes mystery, poignancy, and mortality, but it also provides clues about how an artifact or place was created and cared for. In most cases, there is a history, often instructive, behind the questions raised by abandoned and decaying environments. Kilker uses night photography and light painting to juxtapose decaying buildings with streaking lights from passing vehicles to suggest such cycles, as well as wide angle perspectives to emphasize the open spaces and breached interior-exterior boundaries of the deteriorating structures.
Lost Places in the Mojave will be on display from December 2, 2011 to January 22, 2012. An opening reception will be held on Friday, December 2, from 1p-3p. Refreshments will be served.
Admission Information: Event is Free and open to the public
