Holly Lay of the Cultural Affairs Department’s Public Art Division joined us and covered topics like public art process, opportunities for artists, and services offered for the community.

Holly Lay received her MFA from UNLV in 2019. Her art practice is inspired by mining digital archives, collecting references to cyberculture, femininity, craft and kitsch. When not working on her art in the studio or watching classic films, she is running a project space named Available Space Art Projects (ASAP) located in Las Vegas and works as a Visual Arts Specialist for the city of Las Vegas.

The Cultural Affairs Department’s Public Art Division in the city of Las Vegas is dedicated to enhancing the city’s visual landscape through the integration of art in public spaces. This department actively collaborates with artists, community members, and stakeholders to commission, install, and maintain a diverse range of public artworks. Their efforts aim to celebrate the city’s cultural heritage, foster community pride, and stimulate economic growth by transforming public areas into exciting cultural destinations.
