Nevada Humanities Program Gallery

Nevada Humanities presents “Circle of Animal by Artist and Naturalist, Sharon K. Schafer” , a new exhibition on display at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery, from October 3 - November 26, 2024. Join us on Thursday, October 3rd for a reception and artist's talk with the artist. The reception will be from 5 - 8 pm, with the artist's talk starting at 6 pm. The exhibition is a series of black and white images are messages from the edge, warnings of our growing estrangement from the world and the desperate need to recognize and accept our place in nature. These photographs are a reminder that humanity’s deepest fear is not that we are separate from nature, but rather, that we are a part of it.We are estranged from nature, possessed by an inability to connect, communicate and empathize with the more-than-human world. We stand apart, a drifting coiled thread turned in on itself, having lost connection to the fabric of our animate earth. Our species’ cleverness seduces us into believing we possess a certain specialness and destiny that secures our independence from the reciprocal nature of our world. This false sense of separation allows us to deceive ourselves into believing we have the power and right to claim dominion and to satisfy our every hunger.Viewing hours at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery are Tuesdays through Fridays from 1 to 5 pm PT, and until 9 pm PT, the first Friday of the month for First Friday events. Visitors may also make a viewing appointment by contacting Bobbie Ann Howell at <a href="mailto:bahowell@nevadahumanities.org" title="mailto:bahowell@nevadahumanities.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">bahowell@nevadahumanities.org</a> or 702-800-4670.This exhibition was supported, in part by the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the state of Nevada.
