The Contemporary Arts Center cry for help was heard. Melissa Peterson stepped in with ideas and was voted in as president by the CAC board. She has a three-part plan to get the non-profit to “function as a business,” reports Las Vegas Weekly. 

Las Vegas Weekly ripped what would have been CAC’s final exhibition. Based on the final line, the story was filed before the breaking story about CAC dodging dissolution. Said the critic: ‘No matter how well-intentioned, the exhibition is filled with inert, abstract paintings that Travelodge wouldn’t hesitate to hang above a queen bed and figurative works with realistic subject matter destined, at best, for parlor bars." Ouch.

For Al Jazeera, Melissa Chan reports on the Las Vegas Art Scene. “Vegas has a permissive atmosphere,” says Tim Bavington. “This is good for artists because you have to feel like you can do anything.” Patrick “Art Philanthropist” Duffy and Marty “Trifecta Gallery” Walsh and artist David Ryan also get screen time.
