This exhibition of art by Nevada-based artist, writer, curator, and educator ¡Katie B Funk! runs through March 13. There will be a Gallery Talk and Artist Reception on March 10, beginning at 6 p.m.
¡Katie B Funk! is an internationally exhibiting artist, writer, curator, and educator. She says she was born on a Friday night under a waning crescent moon in South Bend, Indiana. She got the chance to haphazardly construct a double-bottled tornado maker in preschool - a project that remains a pivotal core memory. Once a pile of Barbasol shaving cream was plopped in front of her to play with in the early days of kindergarten, ¡Katie B Funk! knew that making things out of something else was all she wanted to do in life.

Few people knew John Lennon as intimately as May Pang did. She was Lennon’s lover during the infamous “Lost Weekend” which lasted 18 months during late 1973 through 1975. During this highly creative time for Lennon, Pang took candid photos of him in comfortable, relaxed settings. A collection of these private photographs will be on display, and available for purchase, at The Desert Valley Gallery. May Pang will be at the gallery all weekend, meeting customers and telling stories behind the photos.
In 1973, Lennon and Pang stayed at Caesars Palace and attended a concert at the Flamingo featuring Fats Domino and Frankie Valli. They returned to Las Vegas in 1974, accompanied by musician Harry Nilsson, and stayed at the Riviera. Photos from these visits offer a fascinating glimpse into the couple’s life together during Lennon’s celebrated “Lost Weekend.”
