Youth Arts Education Temporary Public Art Projects

Now Showing

Artists are chosen to collaborate with two Parks and Recreation facilities in Clark County. They conduct workshops for youth at the facilities, incorporating the art created during the Youth workshops into a temporary installation on-site. This initiative serves as a scholarship program, providing training for artists in workshop leadership, public art proposal creation, and art installation building.

Psychedelic Shack…That’s Where it’s at, by David Lampel and Youth from Desert Breeze

People, let me tell you about a place I know

To get in it don't take much dough

Where you can really do your thing, oh yeah

It's got a neon sign outside that says

"Come in and take a look at your mind"

You'd be surprised what you might find, yeah

The Temptations

Using green screens, videographers, cell phone cameras, and body cams, the participants crafted a layered video collage that immerses viewers in the vibrant pulse of Desert Breeze—a gathering place for skating, swimming, exercise, and family connection.

This three-screen sculptural installation explores the theme “Psychedelic Shack…That’s Where It’s At”—a playful nod to funk culture and colorful imagination. Each screen celebrates motion and rhythm: bikes spinning, kids skating, friends in mid-conversation, and the textures of desert light bending through filters and effects. Together, the videos form a visual “shack” of layered memories, joyfully chaotic, full of life, movement, and personal style.

Through a series of workshops, local 12-year-olds became co-creators—directing shots, interviewing each other, and playing with visual effects to capture how they engage with the park’s spaces and staff. The result is both artwork and archive: a shared portrait of a community seen through the creative lens of its youth.

On display at Desert Breeze through July 1

Roots by Racheal Braley and Youth from Silverado Ranch

Watercolor Dreams is a collaborative installation series where youth were asked "What are dreams? Why do we dream? Where do dreams go when we are awake?" Students were encouraged to talk about their dreams and guided to write and draw out their answers on watercolor paper. Their resulting artwork was transformed into drops and stars alongside internally lit clouds and rain.
