Emily Moores, a visual artist known for hand-cut and layered works, opens her exhibition 'Intermission' at the CSN Fine Arts Gallery in the North Las Vegas Campus Performing Arts Center. The show runs from July 2 through September 26, 2026, with a gallery talk and opening reception on July 2. Moores' pieces range from intimate wall works to large-scale installations that use colorful patterns, textures, and ornamentation inspired by everyday objects like wallpaper and playgrounds, aiming to engage the body in experiencing space.
This exhibition matters because it offers a tactile, physical counterpoint to the overstimulation of digital screens and fast-paced culture, inviting viewers to slow down and connect with material reality through art. By transforming a campus gallery into a whimsical environment, Moores highlights the role of pattern and texture in fostering mindful engagement, making the show relevant for both local audiences and broader conversations about art's therapeutic and experiential value.
