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.
Head in the Clouds Feet on the Ground- Chad Scott
“Much of my work originates from personal experience. The initial idea for Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground comes from an experience I had with my family when I taught my son how to fly a kite. The initial idea was then influenced by two family art workshops I facilitated at the Melvin Ennis Recreation Center and the Helen Meyer Community Center and later adapted for the architectural space here at the Whitney Recreation Center..” -Artist Chad Scott

Dream Circles and Alebrijes by Jamie Zepeda
“This installation brings together imagination, cultural tradition, and community collaboration. Inspired by the vibrant world of Mexican alebrijes, I created two sculptural creatures: a giant green horse and a smaller pink dog/coyote. Alebrijes exist in the space between reality and fantasy, and I wanted these forms to feel equally alive—playful, protective, and full of color.” -Artist Jamie Zepeda

Mythical Articulating Nevada Angle Snake (MANAS) by Linda Shaffer
“The inspiration for this project was Nevada snakes, nature’s use of camouflage and desert landscapes. The goal was to create a mythical snake using camouflage patterns with fun, snakeskin patterns, with the addition of triangles, angles and weird geometry, set in a mythical, camouflaged lair reminiscent of Nevada’s desert landscape.” -Artist Linda Shaffer

The Things We Keep by Nicholas Denson
“The Things We Keep is a community-centered artwork that invites youth to explore storytelling, memory, and generosity through the creation of origami and assemblage vessels. These vessels are made from recycled magazines, found objects, and hand-constructed elements that young people select with intention and care. Each choice becomes part of a visual language that communicates aspects of identity, lived experience, and imagination.” -Artist Nicholas Denson
