Artists are chosen to collaborate with two Parks and Recreation facilities in Clark County. They conduct workshops for youth at the facilities, incorporating the art created during the Youth workshops into a temporary installation on-site.  This initiative serves as a scholarship program, providing training for artists in workshop leadership, public art proposal creation, and art installation building.

Group Exhibition at Winchester Dondero Cultural Center

Our artists created temporary public art with elements created or inspired by children. These artists developed skills in workshop facilitation, community engagement, public art creation, collaboration, project management, and learned how to maintain artistic creativity and vision while attending to the demands of the public. Artists will be showing works from their assigned residencies at various Clark County facilities.

Life Shapes by Vezun and Youth from Whitney and Paradise Recreation Centers

The son of immigrant parents, Vezun grew up with a culture clash present in his thoughts. A self-taught Las Vegas based visual artist, Vezun's career path has been outside of the mainstream. In the Life Shapes workshops, children were asked to think about the shapes that influence them in their lives and use stencils, ink, and chalk to create abstract images that reflect their inner worlds. He will include his signature style to unify the boxes.
