A free reception for the exhibition “Bridges of Belonging: Cinco de Mayo, Bi-National Identity, and the Spirit of Chignahuapan” will be held on May 1 at the Clark County Government Center Rotunda Gallery in Las Vegas. The event, themed “Puentes de Pertenencia,” features live music, cultural performances, visual arts, and food, with the exhibit on display through May 28.
The event matters as it celebrates bi-national identity and Chicano culture through visual and performing arts, fostering community belonging and cross-cultural understanding in Las Vegas. It highlights the role of local government spaces in making art accessible to the public, reinforcing the importance of cultural heritage programming in civic venues.
