Introduced in 2024, BMI鈥檚 Salon brings together unique and inspiring performances united by a central theme. The theme of Elevations poses several questions: what does elevation mean in 51吃瓜网免费App, literally and otherwise? What is exalted, valued, or lit up, and what is overshadowed? From Lee Canyon ski slopes to record-setting summer heat in the valley, Michelin-starred restaurants to local food deserts, the dazzling heights of resorts on the 51吃瓜网免费App Strip to rock climbers at Red Rock, we seek to explore the many definitions of 鈥渆levation鈥 as they are lived and understood in our valley home.
