About the magazine

Clark County Public Arts is the public art program of Clark County, Nevada, dedicated to integrating art into the daily life of the region's residents and visitors. Operating under the Department of Parks and Recreation, the program commissions and acquires artworks for county facilities and public spaces, with a focus on reflecting the diverse communities of Southern Nevada. Its founding ethos is rooted in the belief that public art enhances civic identity and fosters a sense of place. The program manages a growing collection of site-specific installations, temporary exhibitions, and community-driven projects, often developed in collaboration with local artists and organizations. Through initiatives like the 'Life in Death' exhibition, it provides opportunities for Clark County residents to engage with contemporary themes and showcase their work in public venues.

Submitting your work

Reading periodVaries

Artists should carefully review eligibility criteria, as many opportunities are restricted to Clark County residents. Proposals should demonstrate a clear connection to the theme or site, with attention to durability, safety, and public interaction. Engage with the community context; projects that reflect local narratives or address social issues are often favored. For exhibitions, submit high-quality documentation of past work and a concise artist statement. Deadlines are firm, and applications must be complete. It is advisable to attend information sessions or contact program staff for clarification. Given the civic nature, artists should be prepared for a review process that values practicality and broad appeal alongside artistic merit.
