This week’s 5 best bets for arts & culture in Las Vegas

‘Five’

Gone, but not forgotten. That’s the “Five,” former UNLV artists-in-residence Deborah Aschheim, Erin Cosgrove, Lucky DeBellevue, Ash Ferlito and David Gilbert, who return to campus — or at least their artworks do — in a Barrick Museum exhibit featuring paintings, sculptures, videos, installations and photographs. “Five” continues through Sept. 10.; gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays Admission is free (suggested donations: $5 for adults, $2 for children and seniors). For more information, call 702-895-3381 or visit unlv.edu/barrickmuseum.

‘Moonage Daydream’

Ground control to Major Tom — and anyone else who misses late rock legend David Bowie. That includes the Lon Bronson Band, which teams with special guests for a “Moonage Daydream” concert of Bowie classics from almost every stage of his career. The music starts at 8 p.m. Friday in The Smith Center’s Cabaret Jazz; for tickets ($15-$35), visit www.thesmithcenter.com.

Brews & Blues

The formula remains unchanged, yet somehow the lure of the Springs Preserve’s annual Brews & Blues Festival remains potent year after year. On tap: beers from around the world and live music — to say nothing of commemorative mugs for the first 1,900 guests 21 and older. The fest runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday; admission is $35 in advance, $40 on festival day (if available). For tickets and information, call 702-822-7700 or visit www.springspreserve.org.

‘Weekend Comedy’

Two couples — one young, one not-so young — accidentally rent the same cottage, then decide to share it for a three-day weekend, setting the stage for generation-gap laughs in “Weekend Comedy,” which (appropriately) opens this weekend at Henderson’s Theatre in the Valley, 10 W. Pacific Ave. Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through June 19; for tickets ($12-$15), call 702-558-7275 or email tivrsvp@gmail.com.

High School Musical Awards

No, it’s not “High School Musical.” It’s a whole afternoon of high school musicals, as performers from area high schools strut their stuff for a judging panel, vying for a chance to represent Nevada in the National High School Musical Theater Awards (aka the Jimmy Awards) in — where else? — New York City. The curtain goes up at 2 p.m. Sunday in The Smith Center’s Reynolds Hall; for tickets ($10), visit www.thesmithcenter.com.
