Exodus: Las Vegas Art or Bust
Entering Vegas before the pandemic put a damper on what was supposed to be a grand immersion into the art world. Instead, I found estranged streets filled with outlines of dissolved opportunities. It left me wondering just what is my niche's scope here? It's time to throw away the lock and key of my solitude and enter the emerging art scene.
I see the bubbles of 'art-tivity' rushing in, and I want to be a part of it. Here is how I plan to spend my year:

See Me at First Friday!
Featured artists and gorgeous vendor stalls call my name this coming March when I will attend my very first First Friday. A free, local-centric, creative community with music and color bombs of visual stimulus? Count me in!
Murals, Murals, & Murals!
While turning over the Neon Museum's gift shop, I stumbled upon a book titled Street Art Las Vegas by William Shae, Patrick Lai, Phyllis Needham, & Ed Fuentes. If you are looking for a gorgeous book for the case, this one will blow you away from cover to cover. It contains photo documentation of the graffiti scenes of Las Vegas. The contents have launched me into an all-out obsession with graffiti and murals. I'll be watching out for the graffiti art to come.
Let's Meet
I am excited to report on some exciting new events I'll be attending coming soon. While my fingers itch to snitch, you will have to wait to read all about them this year. All I can say is, First Friday won't be the half of it. This leads me to…
Let’s Talk
Let's talk about art. I want space for conversations and growing. Let’s push the envelope, invite creativity, celebrate experiments, and encourage artistic failure so that we explore the new in visual works. Come with me on my art exodus from solitude.
