Contemporary Arts Center – In the Arts Factory
This exhibit will showcase the lives, work, and experiences of artists who were once members and primarily involved during the “Golden Age,” of CAC. The exhibit will highlight the CAC’s influence on the careers of artists and the beneficial impact the artists had on the CAC.
By presenting the work of CAC members and founders the exhibit seeks to provoke inspiration and inform Las Vegas of the importance of the CAC as a community based organization. The works and deeds of the exhibitors continue to have a great impact on the present and future careers of artists. Their efforts and successes have made a great contribution to the Contemporary Arts Center and the Las Vegas Art Community. For a list of Artists and about the CAC, click here. Opening Reception during Preview Thursday.
NO VACANCIES
This one’s a mystery. Atomic Todd has something extra special hidden behind the rolladens. 1217 S. Main Street. The big reveal happens from 6:15 to 6:20 pm. during First Friday. Quoting from the invite:
Alios announces the arrival of our holiday window. The grand reveal will occur at 6:15 with the raising of the Rolladen door.
In the spirit of the holiday windows of Marshall Fields in Chicago and the beauty of the Lights of Las Vegas…
Alios presents NO VACANCY
