We are excited to announce Kara Savant’s solo exhibition “In the Land of Drunks & Brothels” in our Main Gallery from March into April.

Savant is a fifth generation Nevadan, strongly rooted in her home state. As a child, she spent countless hours with her six siblings constructing forts out of recycled wood and hardware found out in the rural hills of Elko, Nevada. Her infatuation of creating something out of nothing later translated into her 3D art practice where she now spends her time using found objects and various building materials to construct works of art that speak to the home, gender roles, and everything in between. Like many Nevadan artists, Kara is inspired by her surroundings that have translated into her current body of work consisting of unconventional landscapes.

In this exhibition, Savant’s installation and artworks stems from her “Western Landscape” series, “however, instead of relying heavily on the narrative I tend to employ through titles, I wanted to focus primarily on the formal elements that inspire me. I am heavily influenced by our diminishing neon surroundings, the cowboy culture too many of us play voyeur to, and all the other unique qualities that make Nevada, Nevada. I wanted to create pieces that honed in on the small moments in design that provide both visual pleasure and a feeling reminiscent of home.”

Experience Savant’s exhibition from March 13 through April 13, 2024 with a reception on Saturday March 16 from 12-2PM.
