The College of Southern Nevada Fine Arts Gallery will present our annual Juried Student Exhibition beginning Friday, May 10, 2024, through Saturday, July 6, 2024. A reception with refreshments, awards ceremony, gallery talk, and Salon de Refusés will take place on Friday, May 10, from 6 – 8 p.m. This exhibition will feature student artwork made in connection with CSN Fine Arts Department, Art and Art History Program courses with media including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, metals, ceramics, jewelry, and design.
This year’s exhibition will feature guest judge, Ms. Rebecca Holden. Holden joined the city of Las Vegas Cultural Affairs team in 2013 and has worked with the Public Art Program since 2015. In addition to bringing large and small-scale projects to fruition, Holden applies her attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the city’s Visual Arts Program towards ensuring proper stewardship of their collection of artworks and objects. Through her work in public service, Holden supports the City of Las Vegas Arts Commission and has served on Clark County’s Public Art Committee, 1 October Memorial Committee, and as Government Liaison for the 18b Las Vegas Arts District Neighborhood Association Board. Upcoming projects in the Las Vegas Medical District and a new citywide Public Art Master Plan are just a few of the projects Holden is excited to be currently working in support of the city’s core purpose of “Building Community to Make Life Better.”
A longtime member of the Las Vegas community and proud Nevadan, Holden earned a Bachelor of Art from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, with a major in Fine Art and minor in Art History. The 2024 Juried Student Exhibition will feature awards with anticipated prize values totaling $1,500 or more courtesy of Blick Art Materials and Kendall Hunt Publishing Company. A Salon de Refusés will take place in conjunction with this exhibit in the CSN Horn Theatre Lobby on first floor of the CSN North Las Vegas campus, Main Building, “H” Wing.
