Clark County announced that design proposals for ZAP 8, and the artists, will be introduced to the public this month. The public art project uses these gatherings so the community can provide general feedback. It will be held at Spirit Mountain Activity Center in Laughlin, Nevada on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 10 a. m.  I Facebook.

The Zap 8 artists leaving their work in Laughlin are  Myranda Bair, Mark Brandvik,  Joey Deruy, Lisa Dolan, Fawn Douglas, Ali Fathollahi,  Maureen Halligan,  Anne Hoff,  Katie Hoffman, K.D. Matheson, Orlando Montenegro,  Erica Ott,  Andrea Pavles, Caitlyn Saville,  Christopher  Tsouras,​ and Ozzie Villate

​From my 2014 post introducing ZAP 7 project.
Boston calls their program PaintBox, and San Jose’s is Art Box. Los Angeles also has one and it's also dedicated to neighborhood identity. One series used boxes near a forgotten downtown site that was once called Indian Alley. That prompted me to consider how this civic program works as urban totems, a variant of carved storytelling that builds social kinship through emblematic references without having to expand into spiritual doctrine. Instead of a tree trunk, the urban totem is a metal box (sculpture that’s forbidden territory) that is personalized with paint. It embeds the artist in the larger social group of neighborhood.
