About “The Last Resort”:

Long before Art Deco was a movement and prior to the arrival of the youth culture of MTV and Miami Vice, South Beach was home to the largest cluster of Jewish retirees in the country. Intrigued by the small apartments, low-cost of living, sunny weather, and thriving cultural life, they came in the thousands seeking refuge from the Northeast’s brutal winters. In The Last Resort, viewers embark on a journey to the iconic Miami Beach of yesterday through the lens of young photographers Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe, resulting in one of the most fascinating photographic documentations of a community ever caught on film.

 

150 Year Transcontinental Railroad Commemoration | Panel Discussion and Ceremony

Join us at the Nevada Museum of Art to commemorate the historic 150th Anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. Artists Zhi Lin and Hung Liu will join Andrea and John C. Deane Senior Curator and Deputy Director Ann M. Wolfe to discuss their artworks made in response to the sacrifices of Chinese Railroad workers who raced to complete the rail line that would unite America from east to west in 1869. Directly following the presentation, a ceremonial gathering will take place at the exact time 150 years ago that the Golden Spike was hammered into the last rail at Promontory, Utah by Leland Stanford. The program will include remarks followed by the recitation of the names of over 800 known Chinese railroad workers between 2:27 pm and 2:47 pm—a twenty minute period during which the original telegram announcing the completion of the railroad was sent from Utah to Washington DC in 1869. This honorific recitation will be accompanied by the playing of traditional Chinese instruments by Todd Green.

The ceremony and panel discussion will take place in the Nightingale Sky Room with sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada.
