The UNLV College of Fine Arts will present the 8th Annual UNLV Art Walk, a free community celebration of the arts, on Friday, Oct. 24, from 5–8:30 p.m., along the Academic Mall on the UNLV campus.
This immersive evening invites guests to explore art exhibitions, live music, dance performances, film screenings and theatre events—all showcasing the incredible talent of University of Nevada, Las Vegas students, faculty and the Las Vegas arts community.
