Viva Las Vegas

Cross-section, acrylic, 2012, 16"x20", Sue Dnaielson

If you are heading to Sin City any time before April 27, please stop by the Contemporary Art Center of Las Vegas for the 23rd Annual Juried Exhibition. The juror was Matt Gleason, a Los Angeles based art critic and curator who is a regular contributor to the Huffington Report Art Section. My painting, Instrument, that you may have seen during my exhibition at Core Gallery in February, was accepted into the Las Vegas show.

From the official press release: "The CAC invited artists from around the globe to contribute to its 23rd annual show, and now, after much humming, hawing, and careful selection, the show is ready to be unveiled to the public. The collection was carefully curated, and showcases internationally sourced contemporary art that simply cannot be seen elsewhere in Las Vegas."

CAC is located in the Arts Factory, part of the Las Vegas Arts District, which holds it's art walk on the First Friday of every month. Before entering this show I was unaware that Las Vegas was such a supporter of the arts. It's encouraging to see more cities designating art districts. Please support this one next time you win big, or even if you don't.

UPDATE: 4/3/12 Received word that an exhibition catalog is in the works.
