Memory in Art

"Memory in Art"

By Mia Kang

Oct. 4 to Nov. 23

West Las Vegas Arts Center

947 W. Lake Mead Blvd.

Gallery hours vary; call 702.229.4800

 

Mia Kang is a 16-year-old visual artist whose work revolves around capturing imaginative depictions and implementing personal experiences into her work. Her art reflects a unique perspective that purposefully evokes emotional connection.

 

The aim of this exhibition is to develop and expand on a representation of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia through creative methods, allowing others to involve their own perspective to help spread awareness about these conditions. These pieces explore the ideas of memory and the passage of time using a range of colorful patterns and distinct images.
