The City of Las Vegas Arts Commission is responsible for the creation of permanent and temporary public art projects that transform public space, stimulate intellectual discourse, and celebrate cultural diversity. Through a commitment to excellence that prioritizes community collaboration, the Las Vegas Arts Commission nurtures and promotes artists, elevates civic awareness and helps contribute to a sense of place that fosters creative enterprise, generates cultural tourism and keeps Las Vegas at the forefront of global interest.
"Public art is what makes a city's identity. It represents the essence of the city, and cities that don't have art are sterile and lifeless. Art stimulates our environment. It makes a statement: This is where our creative juices flow. Without art, it's just an empty, barren desert."
Mayor Oscar B. Goodman
