We had a concept for Artists to Perform live freestyling at their best!
We called it “The Urban Artists Show!”
The goal was to bring performing visual artists to the public at a Las Vegas Strip resort. Introduce these Artists to the migrating crowds of visitors as they pass from resort to resort. The challenge is to perform a masterpiece of art while the audience is walking by. Our designs give the artists a personal stage presence in this venue while inviting the audience to stop and watch. We did it and the artists created performance based works that impressed everyone. They had a once in lifetime opportunity to be celebrated at a major Las Vegas resort seen by thousands of visitors in a way that lifts them and their art.
Our host, The MGM Park Vegas is the one of a kind of place you dream of painting. It’s the place we dreamed of inviting artists to have their dreams come true! Can you imagine this enchanting paradise park tucked just off the Las Vegas Strip. A place filled with trees and fountains lining cobblestone pathways. Then imagine painting in the middle of all this while hundreds of visitors from around the world are watching you.

We had a challenge for Artists to Paint for Pepsi to launch their new brand, 1893!
MGM Events management came to us asking if artists could launch this brand.
We said absolutely!
Ideas were submitted and the 3 featured artists were selected. However our sense of inclusivity required us to make room for as many artists as possible and since we were going to be on the property we worked out opportunities and rewards for an additional 10 artists to perform as visual artists along side the 3 featured artists.
What happened was sheer joy and pride for everyone involved!
If every work of art in public has an artist as its provenance and the artist is the most important part of that provenance.
Shouldn’t the community see more artists making art in public?
