'Centered' Poster Design by Kenny Be
CENTERED:
Clark County's public art project "Centered" engages empty road islands throughout Clark County and beautifies them with art. This was an experiment to see how Public Art could enhance our roadways using local artist to create and install unique sculptures in various areas of the Las Vegas Valley.
The Clark County Art Committee envisioned site-specific works that were grander and diverse in style and scope than the premanufactured artwork that has been popping up along our roadways. “While other pieces don’t come equipped with a storyline, Centered’s artworks respond to their respective environments in diverse ways while catering to the idea of community, place, neighborhoods and broad appeal,” wrote Kristen Peterson for Vegas Seven.
The artists for the project were selected by a panel of local artists, arts educators, and a representative of the Clark County Public Works Department. The panel selected 10 local artists from more than 46 other artists who applied to create public art in 10 Clark County street medians.
Clark County invites you to explore the photographs below and hopes that while you are driving around town that you will take the time to drive past these unique works of art.
