Now on View: "Frameworks"

We're excited to share a first look at "Frameworks", a new exhibition by artist, Leah Smith, now open at the CSN Artspace Gallery.

Bringing together intricate ink drawings and fiber-based sculptures, Smith's work explores the connections between body, mind, process, and material. Inspired by weaving, textiles, and the act of making, Frameworks invites viewers to consider the structures that shape how we think, create, and experience the world.

Coming Soon to the CSN Fine Arts Gallery!

Amanda Langer: "Material Mutualism"
October 9 – November 19, 2026

The CSN Fine Arts Gallery is pleased to present "Material Mutualism", a solo exhibition by Wisconsin-based sculptor Amanda Langer. Through striking combinations of materials, Langer explores relationships between humanity and the natural world, asking how differences can function not as sources of conflict, but as complementary strengths.

Drawing from her background in sculpture, ecological restoration, and native plant landscaping, Langer's work invites viewers to consider themes of connection, coexistence, and mutual benefit across both human and environmental communities.

CSN Fine Arts Gallery, North Las Vegas Campus
Free and open to the public

Please mark you calendar and join us for a Gallery Talk & Closing Reception with the artist on Thursday, November 19 at 6:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
