Go behind the scenes in an art museum. Join the crew from the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art as we chat with artists, curators, and everyone else who helps us bring our galleries to life. New episodes will be posted in selected months after the program has aired on KUNV 91.5. The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the United States, we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA groups. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts, especially for first-time visitors. To facilitate access for low-income guests we provide free entry to all our exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and community activities. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for researchers and scholars to develop a more extensive knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). Language: en Genres: Arts, Visual Arts Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Episode 16
Sunday, 31 August, 2025
Brian Martinez, a Las Vegas artist, discusses his artistic journey, starting with a fascination with graffiti in middle school and evolving into a focus on painting. He once aimed to have a solo show every year until age 30, having already completed seven. "Cosmic Chicano," his current exhibition at Nuwu Art, blends psychedelic thought with Chicano art, reflecting his Mexican heritage and personal experiences. Martinez's installation "Floreo" at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art combines contemporary pop culture with Mesoamerican spirituality and Mexican art history.
