John Molezzo
"Visons of Reno"

"It’s late at night and I’m heading south through town on Virginia Street, maybe I’ll take a right on Second Street and drop by the El Cortez, say “Hi” to Bill Fong, or maybe I’ll keep going and pay my respects to Dorothy at Landrum’s, have a cup of joe and a slice of apple pie. It’s one of those midnight drives where the streets are full of gamblers and dreamers while the neon’s buzzing in reds and blues and yellows and greens. Maybe I’ll stop in at the Mapes, see if ol’ Blue is working the graveyard tonight. Maybe I’ll ride the elevator up to The Sky Room and stare out at the twinkling lights of the Biggest Little City just one more time before I head home."

Through September 2.

Tuscarora Plein Air

Ron Arthaud: "From Intimate to Grand: Tuscarora Plein Air"

"... explores the contrast between the vastness of the seemingly endless horizons unique to the Tuscarora landscape, with smaller paintings that zoom in to portray the details of place: a fallen fence, an abandoned car, the shadows off a corrugated roof.

Th artist works on location, or en plein air, preferring the light, color and experience that comes from being in the moment with his subject."

Through May 6.
