Alisha Kerlin experiments with paint, words and junk mail inside Las Vegas ASAP space

Las Vegas Weekly Alisha Kerlin at ASAP Alisha Kerlin is a shining star in the Las Vegas art scene. As the executive director of UNLV’s Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, she leads one of Nevada’s most important arts organizations. And yet, her success in showing others’ art has mostly kept her too busy to make her own. “I’m around art a lot. I live and work around it,” Kerlin says. “And I haven’t made a solo project since I became a director and a mother in the same year.” That was half a decade ago. So when ASAP (Available Space Art Projects), located in New Orleans Square inside Commercial Center, offered Kerlin its space for the last week in February, she jumped at the chance to make and show new work. Deciding to “treat it as a residency,” Kerlin used the compressed time frame as a catalyst to finally prioritize artmaking.
