ARTS: DAN BRADY: LUMINOUS FLUX: WHEN LIGHT IS SCENE  At first glance, a Dan Brady painting can look like just a blank canvas. But when you dim the lights and illuminate them from behind, the painted-on textures reveal rich scenes. Luminous Flux opened June 9 to a crowd fascinated and surprised by the monotone paintings, which depend on some interaction with the audience for the imagery to be fully seen. When the viewer flips a switch, shines a flashlight through the canvas or activates some other trigger, the crisp lines of a sparsely furnished room, a heated picnic scene or an atomic explosion come into focus. Thru July 21, Tuesday-Friday, noon-6 p.m. & by appointment, free, Core Contemporary, corecontemporary.com. –Shannon Miller

But this is Area15 we’re talking about, so what would be a parking lot rave for most anyone else becomes “an opulent realm filled with multiple stages of lavish soundscapes, mysterious and enticing performers, bewildering art installations, delectable cocktails, festival-style vendors and craft makers” with a mystical forest theme. Revelers are encouraged to dress as fairies, wood sprites, fantasy forest creatures and the like. And for an additional charge, attendees can enjoy a late-night, adults-only visit to Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, itself a strange, secret realm. June 30-July 1, 8:30 p.m., $40+, A-Lot at Area15, area15.com. –Geoff Carter

Sweets’ Spot season finale

Sweets’ Spot season finale

MISC: SWEETS’ SPOT SEASON FINALE  If you haven’t been taking regularly prescribed doses of the sugary, sultry, slightly hallucinatory web series Sweets’ Spot, there’s still time to catch up before Vegas singer and burlesque star Melody Sweets brings the show Downtown for a final episode release party at the Bev. (Is anybody calling the Beverly Theater the Bev? Let’s get that going.) We can’t wait to make friends with our fave characters from the show, Doctor Donut and Frida Hole, but you’ll be equally excited to catch live burlesque performances, sample treats inspired by the dessert creations on the show, and a first-look at the finale. 7 p.m., $25, the Beverly Theater, sweetsspottv.com. –Brock Radke

ARTS: MODERN DESERT MARKINGS: AN HOMAGE TO LAS VEGAS AREA LAND ART Nevada’s sprawling desert has been the muse of many land artists over the years. Michael Heizer’s “City,” a work of environmental art 50 years in the making, left viewers awestruck when he debuted the urban complex in 2022. Stretching about 1.5 miles long and a half of a mile wide, it’s one of the largest pieces of contemporary art ever made. And as with every other piece of Land Art exposed to the elements, it will eventually fade. To ensure these ephemeral pieces live on, curators Katie Hoffman and Hikmet Sidney Loe chose 10 U.S. artists to participate in Modern Desert Markings at UNLV’s Barrick Museum, an exhibit that challenged them to create new works inspired by land artists such as Heizer and the late Walter De Maria and Jean Tinguely. Together, contemporary artists including Jen Urso, Mark Brest van Kempen and Paula Jacoby-Garrett take less biome-destructive approaches as they pay homage to historic structures of the past. Thru July 8, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., free, UNLV’s Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, unlv.edu. –Amber Sampson
