Join the Library District and the Black Mountain Institute to explore "elevation" and the way it is experienced and understood in our valley home.
We’ll hear from local filmmakers, the renowned Mariachi Joya, emerging fashion designers and theater artists, slam poets, and a classically trained ballerina who also happens to be a physical comedienne. Through their performances, we’ll spend an evening that spans snowcaps to storm drains, and everything in between, and think about what these ups and downs mean for us.
Featuring:
- Elle Hope (Emcee)
- Spotlight Poetry Las Vegas Slam Team
- A short film by Carlos Tkacz
- Fear and Funghi, a short play by Lucky Stiff (directed by Adriana Chavez)
- Las Vegas High School’s Mariachi Joya
- Bella Schleiker, dancer & circus artist currently appearing in Miss Behave's Mavericks
- A fashion show by UNLV’s Runway Rebels

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
