Painter David Freeman from the crew of Cirque Du Soleil picks up his work "Nautical Triangles."
​

​The final day for Trifecta Gallery was on a wet grey Friday. The last piece of art was packaged and ready to be picked up by the artist. Marty Walsh was standing by. Then she looked around and saw something else hanging on the bare white wall. It was her business license. The gallery owner walked over, took it off the all, and laid it on the coffee table. She then sat down to share some stories.

  • "Saturday morning I woke up to a lovely, little Facebook message from an artist by the name of Loris Gréaud" writes Lauren Smart, who was trolled by someone who did not like her review. She stomps right back I Dallas Observer
  • ADD SMART NOTE: She rounds off the original piece with: "I would argue that he didn't create much art. After all, he knew he was going to destroy it. And what artist would do that?" That's something Las Vegas artists who take down work as an event may want to consider, or have a completed narrative to justify how it reflects the city's tradition of self- implosion.
  • The lone favorite is Jerry himself.

FIELD NOTES: The working list of artists selected for ZAP 7 was presented Tuesday during Clark County Arts Committee's January meeting.  The final 20 came from a “strong” field of 80 artists who applied to paint utility boxes along Maryland Parkway, according to Michael Ogilvie, Clark County Parks and Recreation Cultural Specialist. Artists will meet the public and present their design at the Cambridge Recreation Center February 27, 2015,  The work begins March 27 and boxes will be completed in time for an April 24 dedication.

THE ZAP 7 TWENTY: Abraham Abebe, Chris Bauder, Gig Depio, Shan Michael Evans, Salvador Jon Gascon, Adolfo Gonzalez, Tatiana Hantig, Su Limbert, Sush Machida, Melissa McGill, Krystal Ramirez, Lisa Rock, Sean Russell, Nanda Sharifpour, Lance Smith, Erin Stellmon, Holly Vaughn, Eric Vozzola, and Valentin Yordanov. The 20th selection will come from a group project from students in a Public Art Class at UNLV.

OTHER FUTURE BUSINESS: The committee approved motions to be a liaison between local artists and County Departments for new projects, including creating public art in the expanded parking lot for the Welcome to Las Vegas sign on the Strip. Artists can also watch for notices to create public art on empty medians around the valley. Details for both these projects are pending.  The Percent for the Arts Program - Art Committee meets every 4th Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. (except December) at Winchester Cultural Center.
