Opening exhibition “In The Limelight” by gallery owner Brett W. Sperry

Las Vegas, Nevada, August 5, 2009 —Brett Wesley Gallery is proud to presenting In The Limelight, our summer photography exhibition. Opening and artist reception will be Thursday August 5, 2009 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 1112 S. Casino Center Blvd. Free to the public.

In The Limelight features long-time photographer and gallery owner Brett W. Sperry. From the quiet to the intense, and the playful to the solemn, this series of photography is an exploration of settings and subjects by skillful use of lighting, shadows, and contrasts.

Also that evening will be a live performance by the lovely singer/songwriter Susan Haller and Danny Wright on the grand piano. Wright is a brilliantly talented pianist who has sold over 5 million CDs since his debut album in 1986. His contemporary piano and soothing style fit perfectly with Susan’s amazing lyrics and together they are an evening destined to be enjoyed by the audience.

Brett W. Sperry is the owner and co-curator of the Brett Wesley Gallery, the latest edition to the Las Vegas Arts District. Prior to opening the gallery, Brett was founder and president of Westwood Studios, a software design studio and publisher, which he ran for 17 years. With an eye for innovative design and distinctive visuals, Brett was the creative leader and publisher of over a dozen commercial hits.

After the sale of Westwood Studios to media giant Electronic Arts, Brett was able to devote more time on his enduring passions of photography and fine art. A long time collector and student of contemporary art, Brett’s desires and designs for a new kind of art gallery culminated with the acquisition of a building at the heart of the Arts District, and the founding of Brett Wesley Gallery in 2007.

Brett Wesley art receptions are held once a month on Preview Thursday at 1112 S. Casino Center Blvd. on the corner of Charleston Blvd. The gallery building itself is a nod to mid-century modernism, urban chic and classic American roadside architecture.
What makes Brett Wesley Gallery distinctive is its selection of stunning works by emerging and established painters, photographers, and sculptors from around the world. Owner Brett Wesley Sperry states “Our primary goal is to show works of art that are bold, relevant, and well-crafted across several media and ultimately expand the visual dialog among collectors and artists. Brett Wesley Gallery is a place to celebrate the arts and share knowledge with art collectors, fans and artists alike.  And each month, whether you love what we’re showing or not, there will always be something here that’s memorable and worthy of discussion”.
