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.

Picture the Win by Erika Muecke and Youth from Parkdale

     

Statement from the Artist:

In sports, remarkable plays and incredible runs often stem from mastering the fundamentals through countless hours of practice. Similarly, in art, the layers of a painting reflect the dedication and skill built over months or years. "Picture the Win" celebrates victory achieved through repetition and mastery. Using simple shapes, vibrant colors, and playful, hand-crafted stamps, the background comes alive with community spirit.

As an artist, I blend street art with nods to classical and antiquity-inspired forms. In this installation, I draw inspiration from Nike, the Roman goddess of Victory, who crowns champions at the Recreation Center. Special thanks to the amazing kids who helped create unique stamps that are now part of the artwork. Each stamp beautifully captures the essence of the students and the vibrant Parkdale and Bob Price communities.
