New Downtown Aerial Gallery Banners On Las Vegas Boulevard
June 24th, 2009 Categories: ART, Downtown Las Vegas
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
A series of 24 hand-painted images by Dennis Angel, entitled “Desert Transplants,” now is displayed for public enjoyment in the city of Las Vegas Aerial Gallery downtown on Las Vegas Boulevard. The Aerial Gallery is a public art “streetscape enhancement” project designed to bring more visibility to the arts downtown. The project features a mile-long banner display on six poles along the median of Las Vegas Boulevard from Charleston Boulevard north to Stewart Avenue. Streetlights on the poles illuminate the three-foot-by-eight-foot banners at night.
Commissioned by the Las Vegas Arts Commission, the works feature flowering desert plants. The banners are unstretched military tent canvas, painted with high-quality, outdoor acrylic paint that is resistant to fading and ultraviolet light. The current banners are scheduled to remain on display through January 2010.
Angel moved to Southern Nevada in 1991, and currently is a professor at the College of Southern Nevada. He maintains a studio in downtown Las Vegas and specializes in original mixed media paintings. His works have been featured in more than 200 exhibitions and acquired for private, public and corporate collections throughout the United States. Angel earned his Master of Fine Arts degree at Indiana University and his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Oklahoma.
Now in its ninth year, the Aerial Gallery has exhibited works of many local artists who are part of the Las Vegas Arts Commission’s Artist Registry and who have been involved in working in the downtown arts neighborhoods. To see some of the images online, go to www.lvartscommission.com/projects/aerial-gallery-2009. For more information on Dennis Angel, visit his Web site at www.dennisangelstudio.com.

Erin Anfinson
June 19 – August 27, 2009
Erin Anfinson designed her paintings for “Confrontations” by digitally combining and abstracting images of flora and fauna derived from computer clip art, pictures found on the internet, and digital photos she took of landscapes from her home in Northeastern Iowa and areas of Middle Tennessee. The types of images she uses are those that capture the often unseen and dramatic events in the natural world, such as animal confrontations.

The “Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas” Sign Is Now Listed In The National Register Of Historic Places
May 21st, 2009 Categories: ART, Las Vegas History
The “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a significant milestone in the sign’s 50-year history, county and state officials announced today.
“We nominated the sign as part of our centennial celebration, believing wholeheartedly in this Las Vegas icon’s historic value,” said County Commission Chairman Rory Reid, whose district includes the sign. “This designation demonstrates that the keepers of the National Register agree. The sign has been not only an important symbol for our community but a magnet for untold thousands who have had their pictures taken in front of it.”
Nevada Historic Preservation Officer Ron James, whose office forwarded the county’s application to the National Park Service for consideration, said the Register is the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of recognition and preservation.
“This sign is one of the most recognizable images associated with Nevada and its tourism industry,” said James. “This national honor underscores the historic value of the sign.”
The Welcome sign is located on the median of Las Vegas Boulevard in unincorporated Clark County, just south of the Russell Road exit on Interstate 15. It reads, “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada” on the front and “Drive Carefully” and “Come Back Soon” on the back.
The sign is owned by Young Electric Sign Company (YESCO) and leased to Clark County. “As owner of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, YESCO is proud to be the stewards of this important cultural resource which has done so much to promote a positive, vibrant image for Las Vegas and Clark County for the past 50 years,” said John Williams, the company’s vice president and general manager.
The sign was designed by Betty Whitehead Willis of Western Neon, at the time one of a few women in the nation working as sign designers. In 1959 a group of Strip hotel owners asked the Clark County Commission to fund the design and construction of a sign to welcome visitors to Las Vegas. The winning bid, from Western Neon, was for $4,000. Later, YESCO bought out Western Neon and became the sign’s owner.

The Hispanic Museum Of Nevada Presents “MIX it UP”
May 20th, 2009 Categories: ART
Las Vegas - The Hispanic Museum of Nevada – El Museo Hispano de Nevada presents MIX it UP an exhibition featuring local and regional artists.
The MIX it UP exhibit will feature the works of diverse artists such as Hector Silva, Michael Vasquez, Alexander Huerta, Vezun, Dray Wilmore, and K.D. Matheson.
Inspired by the idea of focusing on the ‘primal forces of human instinct’ Curator Brian Paco Alvarez chose these featured artists for their own unique styles of expression from the urban to the classic.
Focusing on themes such as Culture, History, Time, and Art each artist has been inspired to create pieces reflective of their own individual experience, as well as to portray the experiences of those around them. The dramatic and colorful murals created by Alexander Huerta, Vezun, Dray Wilmore and K.D. Matheson offer insights and pathways into the larger, more global conversations of culture, and identity among Hispanics and all cultures.
It will be on view at The Hispanic Museum of Nevada, located at Embarq Corporate Offices, 330 S. Valley View Blvd., through August 21. An opening reception will be held on May 21 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Stop & Go’ Screening At Historic Fifth Street School
April 17th, 2009 Categories: ART
The city of Las Vegas will play host to the Stop & Go screening at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 17, at this Historic Fifth Street School located at 401 S. Fourth St. in downtown Las Vegas. The screening is free and open to the public.
The line-up of videos includes national and international artists and is curated by San Francisco Bay Area artist and animator Sarah Klein. Klein, who uses hand-drawn images and stop-motion animation in her own work, chose pieces that explore the possibilities of stop-motion processes. The animators breathe life into magazine cutouts, homemade drawings, everyday objects and even the body itself.
Selected videos in the Stop & Go screening include “The Manipulators” by Clare Rojas and Andrew Jeffrey Wright, who alter and collage images from fashion magazines to create an entirely different story. Intricate paper-cutout circles by sculptor Jen Stark become a series of regurgitating rainbows and mysterious organic structures in “Papermation.” Quilt-maker Sherri Wood and animator Ignacio Alcantara collaborate on “Sewing for Jesus” as they animate the making of a quilt that honors the missing American and Iraqi citizens who have died in the Iraq War. Young students from the Croatian animators workshop SAF Cakovec Studio create a darkly funny animation of two characters and their mishaps in “We’ve All Fallen From Mars.” Comic illustrator Lilli Carré creates a high-wire act of sleepy time bears, black crows and senior folk in “For the Birds.”
The complete list of artists includes Ignacio Alcantara, Tommy Becker, Lilli Carré, Pete Davies, Samara Halperin, Meredith Holch, Sean Horchy, Stephanie Hutin, Andrew Kelleher, Lana Kim, Sarah Klein, Mike Leavitt, Michael McHam, Laurie O’Brian, Saelee Oh, Mel Prest, Clare Rojas, Judith Selby, SAF Cakovec Studio, Jen Stark, Melinda Stone, Claudia Tennyson, Sherri Wood, Aeneas Wilder and Andrew Jeffery Wright.

“Johnny Art” TONIGHT Only At Beauxarts Gallery
March 6th, 2009 Categories: ART, Arts District, First Friday
8 year old gifted child artist, Johnny Swager is doing a demonstration and book signing TONIGHT ONLY during the First Friday Extravaganza.
He’ll be at the Beauxarts Gallery/Theatre in the upper level of the Arts Factory.
I found his work quite fun. I think you will also.
At his publisher’s website, I found the following blurb about his book, which is called “Johnny Art – the Art of Johnny Swager”
Johnny Art is about the life and art-making of seven year old Johnny Swager. Johnny is an extremely gifted boy who is not intimidated by any subject. His work exhibits a confidence rarely seen in children and a freshness that only a child can bring to the canvas. Collectors, art teachers, and critics are captivated with Johnny’s ability to render subjects with such maturity and painterly skills.

My First Trip Thru A Car Wash
February 17th, 2009 Categories: ART
Seriously. I’d never stayed in a car as it went thru the wash tunnel – ever– until yesterday. I didn’t even know it was going to happen when I got in line. I thought it was going to be full service wash, like I usually get. Nothing ever stays the same.
I did happen to take a picture I really like. Thought you might enjoy it as well.
Naturally, it’s called “light at the end of the tunnel”.
It completely represents my life during the last month.

Contemporary Arts Center And Opportunity Village Fundraiser Is Huge Success - Hosted By Ken Wolfson Of Wolfson Lofts
January 30th, 2009 Categories: ART
Hosted by Ken Wolfson at his Wolfson Lofts project, the Avenue, several hundred people packed the cocktail party and silent auction.
We’re very pleased to see so many people, (including many suburbanites) out for an evening of Art and Conversation in the Historic Neighborhoods of Las Vegas.
There’s lots of art openings, as well as many special events such as this, every month, and you’re always invited.
Each piece of art was a collaboration between one of the well known downtown artists who are members of the Contemporary Arts Center, and one of the clients of Opportunity Village.
Opportunity Village Clients served the appetizers, and many of their artists were present as well.
All of the pictures are in an album on my facebook page, but I’m posting here some publicity shots from when the lofts were for sale, as well as a few crowd shots from last night.
Ken’s whispered in my ear that he’s planning a new urban infill project that he says will knock my socks off. He’s in the drawing stages for 2 story cocktail houses that pay homage to all the great design elements of mid century modern –but with a 21st century modern sensibility. I can’t wait to see what he’s cooking up next.
Ken Wolson thoroughly understands the concept that was achieved in what we now call “Mid Century Modern”. Open living, walls of glass for natural light and the merging of indoor and outdoor living. Clean lines, simple furnishings, and natural stone accents give a sophisticated urban feel.
Ken gratiously donated this loft for last nights party, and the Contemporary Arts Center and Opportunity Village are most grateful.

Thursday, January 29th, 6 to 9 pm at the Wolfson Lofts.
Wolfson Lofts are located on Tonopah between Charleston and Rancho, just north of UMC Hospital.

Art and Music Are Two Of The Binding Forces Of Downtown Las Vegas
January 7th, 2009 Categories: ART, Arts District
I frequently mention First Friday as part of the ever growing art scene in Downtown Las Vegas, but there’s a whole lot more than that. There’s a huge MUSIC and ART scene growing up right under our loft hi-rises.
I wanted to bring some future events, current showings music and the way we’re all being connected to your attention. I’d just love to plug everthing that’s going on, but that’s impossible. I do know that an urban lifestyle full of art and music and sense of community is just as important as big trees, big lots, and homes with charm and character and great design. They’re all reasons people are chosing to move back “downtown”. All of it is what’s happening in “Vintage” Vegas.
Of course there’s also Historic Preservation, Mid Century Modern Architecture, Hip Neighborhoods, Cocktail Parties, and lots of other forces that are in play, but we cover those pretty regularly, so today we’ll just deal with the art and music scene, and getting VeryVintageVegas onto the first page if you google for Downtown Las Vegas.
Neon Reverb – The Downtown Las Vegas Music Festival
Neon Reverb the twice a year music festival. Coming to a bunch of Downtown Las Vegas Bars and Nightclubs March 12–15, 2009 The rundown is on the NeonReverb Website. There’s a Facebook group for Neon Reverb as there is for much of the Downtown Las Vegas Scene.
RELEASE at the Aruba
There’s also the whole world of techno/house DJ late night insanity. I’m a little old for this, but I hear there’s a BI-Weekly party at the Aruba. The next one is Saturday December 10th. More details at the Release Website
Paco and Derek swear they’re dragging me to it.
Music Every Night
There’s live music almost every night of the week in Downtown Las Vegas. Some of it’s at the hotels, some at the bars, some at the Fremont East Entertainment District. Take a stroll almost any night on Fremont Street. Don’t forget Karaoke at Dino’s on Thursdays and Fridays at 10, and live bands on Fridays from 10 to midnite followed by Karaoke. There’s 2 or 3 bands every weekend night right there on the stages of Fremont Street Experience.
About.com has links to live music venues through out the valley, but you’d be surprised how much of it is centered on the strip and in downtown. The suburbanites need to do the driving.
Las Vegas Weekly and Las Vegas CityLife, are also the place to find out about all things music, as well as some of the best blogging about Las Vegas in general.
Light My Fire - Hedwig And the Angry Inch - An Evening With Billie Holiday
3 current productions from Colabo which is dedicated to “Unity of the Races Through the Arts” They perform at the Family Music Center way out west at 8125 W. Sahara. I guess I’ll just have to break the 3 mile rule since I missed the preview of Hedwig which was performed at First Friday last week.
Contemporary Art of Las Vegas
Contemporary Art of Nevada is a new facebook group that’s hoping to bring together the entire Downtown Las Vegas Art Scene.
Jacie Urquindi-Maynard started the group just a few days ago, and it’s growing quickly. I had once intended for VVV to act in that capacity, but it’s way too much for me to keep track of. A Facebook group like this is the perfect solution. The description of the group is:
Contemporary Art of Las Vegas has been created for all the artists of Las Vegas and surrounding areas to participate in uniting the local art community and facilitate in the dissemination of updates, events, thoughts and the passion of art…
Everyone, including those who support LV artists are welcomed to share in this on-line gallery experience. Please post your latest work, videos and photographic images for all to enjoy. Keep us informed of all events, exhibitions and happenings. As we grow, the featured profile photo will be chosen from the participating artists. So send in your work. Please limit your uploads to 20 pics per album.
Together we can make a difference. Here’s to “Art”!
SinCityArtGroup
SinCityArtGroup posted it’s monthly First Friday Video Compilation.
First Friday Las Vegas January 2009 Video from sincityartgroup on Vimeo.
SCAG has made several other videos, but I especially wanted to draw your attention to this one about the current show “Pressing the Limits” which shows until January 23 at the Contemporary Arts Center in the Arts Factory. It’s the hub of the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District and is located at Main And Charleston.

Naomi Arin Contemporary Art (formerly DUST GALLERY)
One of my personal favorite galleries in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District is Naomi Arin Contemporary Art on the ground level of the Soho Lofts. Naomi is presenting a seminar on “Art Collecting for Investment” on January 21 and cordially invites you to register and attend. I’ll know I’ll be there.
Naomi Arin Contemporary Art (NACA) cordially invites you to attend a complimentary seminar on Art Collecting for Investment, Wednesday, January 21, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the gallery (900 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Suite 120-B).
NACA owner and art adviser Naomi Arin, recently interviewed about the art market for National Public Radio’s “Marketplace” program, will provide an overview of the art market and how both experienced and novice collectors can incorporate it into their investment strategies.
Arin introduced a program of contemporary fine art with global significance to downtown Las Vegas when Dust Gallery opened on Main Street in 2003. Previously, she served as a private-practice attorney, as well as Director of Corporate and Foundation Giving at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Arin’s understanding of the art market helps her clients make sound investment decisions.
“My objective is to help corporations and individuals understand how to meet their investment – and aesthetic – goals,” says Arin. “It’s exciting for me to watch clients’ desire to diversify their financial portfolios develop into a real passion for collecting art.
”There’s never been a better time than now to include contemporary fine art as part of your investment strategy.”
For more information about the free seminar and to register to attend, call 702.324.5868 or send an email to Naomi@NaomiArinContemporaryArt.com.
