At the Horizon Line

At the Horizon Line

ARTS: AT THE HORIZON LINE We all have to start somewhere. For UNLV artists and staff members Richard Saladino and Julie Meyers, the journey begins At the Horizon Line. Their joint exhibition gives viewers an inside look into the artistic process behind a mural Saladino and Meyers designed for a UNLV contest. Though their work ultimately didn’t win, the artists have deconstructed its parts into a series of walls—or stages—that visually chart the process behind their original idea, and beyond. “You’ll get to see the beginning stages of our designs, which then evolve into bigger, more detailed pieces as we collaborated more,” Meyers said in an Instagram post. “The culmination of our work is the mural, but that’s not the end of the show.” Additional artwork, which Meyers said she and Saladino were inspired to create after working on the original project, will also be viewable. From sketches and large-scale oil paintings to handmade collages, each piece articulates something different about Saladino and Meyers’ life experiences. Through April 8; Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. free, UNLV’s Richard Tam Alumni Center, unlv.edu. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: THINGS I KNOW TO BE TRUE A Public Fit Theatre Company returns to the Usual Place on Maryland Parkway with Australian writer Andrew Bovell’s naturalistic Things I Know to be True, directed by Ann-Marie Pereth and Joseph Kucan. The play, which premiered in the states in 2019 and is being adapted by Amazon Studios for a TV series starring Nicole Kidman, is set in Adelaide, Australia, and focuses on the Price family as its members grow up, drift apart and learn to understand the universal changes, highs and lows of family. APF performances continue through April 25. 4/1 & 4/4, 7 p.m.; 4/2-4/3, 2 p.m;, $35-$40; the Usual Place, apublicfit.org. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: GULLY BOYS After delivering garage-y punk and pop rock—think Babes in Toyland meets Best Coast—to crowds at SXSW and down the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego, Gully Boys promise a gritty, energetic show. Contrary to the band’s name, members of the Minnesota foursome all use she/her or they/them pronouns. Numbers from their new EP Favorite Son, a “display of resilience and brilliance,” should speak to folks who’ve been missing live music in smaller venues. Gully Boys’ touring partner Niiice and local indie rockers Indigo Kidd are also on the bill. 8 p.m., $12, the Space, thespacelv.com. –Shannon Miller

PARTY: TAO BEACH DAYCLUB GRAND OPENING Good things come to those who wait. The pandemic slowed construction for one of the Strip’s largest new venues, so the April 1 grand-opening preview of the 47,000-square-foot Tao Beach Dayclub on the Venetian’s renovated rooftop will be extra sweet for both Tao Group and Vegas pool partiers. After the opening Friday event, presented by Element, an unprecedented lineup of artists will take over the tropical paradise for the rest of the weekend. Afrojack, Fisher, Illenium and Kaskade will each take a turn on the decks April 2, essentially turning the club’s first big Saturday into a mini-festival. And then Lil Jon, Mustard and Tyga will bring some serious bounce to close things out on April 3, with unnamed special guests expected to join in the fun. We’ve already seen the vastly expanded scale and scope of this seminal dayclub venue; now it’s time to celebrate. 4/1-4/3, 11 a.m., ticket & table prices vary, events.taogroup.com. –Brock Radke

COMEDY: LETTERKENNY LIVE Firstly: Letterkenny is a show, a consistently hilarious Canadian comedy streaming on Hulu. It recently delivered its 10th season, but don’t let that put you off; seasons are generally seven episodes long, and a typical episode less than 25 minutes, so the barrier to entry is low. Secondly: Letterkenny is a fictional town in Ontario, a rural community of 5,000 “hicks, skids, hockey players and Christians,” plus First Nations folk, Mennonites and the occasional “up-country degens” [degenerates]. Thirdly: Letterkenny is a whole mood. To hang with Wayne, Katy, Daryl, Squirrely Dan and their friends is to adopt their expressions (“Pitter-patter,” “Wheel, snipe, celly”), aspire to their unbreakable bonds (“If a friend asks you for help, you help him”) and marvel at their lightning-fast wordplay, which can only be witnessed, not described (or duplicated). And lastly: You’ll have a chance to roll up to the produce stand (“end of the laneway; don’t come up the property”) and witness all this good stuff firsthand when the stars of Letterkenny stop by the Chelsea for a rare live performance. Grab a Puppers and join the shirt-tuckers. 8 p.m., $38-$209, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

Musicians/producers Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt have been all about creating deeper experiences following the October release of acclaimed fourth studio album Surrender, including this month’s Sundream Festival in Tulum.

MUSIC: DESTROYER OF LIGHT With Sonolith, Haxa, 9 p.m., the Usual Place, eventbrite.com.

ARTS: ASE: AFRO FREQUENCIES Words hold a significant amount of power. In West African Yoruba culture, the word ase (pronounced ah-shay) describes the concept of change, or more importantly, the ability to drive it. Digital illustrator Vince Fraser and poet Ursula Rucker, in collaboration with experiential art organization Artechouse, explore this philosophy in full with Ase: Afro Frequencies at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. Fraser and Rucker’s artistry intersects in the multisensory exhibit, an evocative and empowering showcase of digital and spoken-word art that provides an Afro-surrealist look into the Black experience. Visitors will witness themes of rebirth, hope and transformation over 14 immersive encounters, including Egungun installations, which digitally overlay tribal masks onto onlookers, spurring them to consider the meaning behind the masked traditions. Fraser’s artistic vivid golds and panoramic artworks wrap around the gallery walls, while Rucker’s soothing voice (which also appears in some of The Roots’ music) issues words of power and positivity. Last year, Time Out Miami awarded Ase: Afro Frequencies its Best Exhibition award, and with the Vegas version on display until April 18, you can experience it for yourself. 10 a.m.-6 p.m., $15-$18, Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, bellagio.mgmresorts.com. –Amber Sampson
