Celebrate 20 years of public art with Commissioner James B. Gibson and the Clark County Public Arts Office! The ZAP! Utility Box program—which showcases local artists and brightens our streets—is marking its 20th anniversary at Sunset Park. Come enjoy the fresh air and see how public art transforms our community.
The ZAP 20th Anniversary will be held on Friday, April 24, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Sunset Park, and will feature live painting by three local artists, art vendors, and live entertainment. Attendees will learn the history of ZAP through the pop-up ZAP museum, meet some of the past ZAP artists, and experience a performance from the Clark County Poet Laureate. Attendees can also participate in the ZAP raffle to win Clark County Public Arts memorabilia, sign up for a short bird walk with the Red Rock Audubon Society, and create mini-ZAP boxes through the workshop led by a past ZAP artist.
The Clark County Public Arts Office will also unveil the new ZAP logo, created by one of the original ZAP artists, Shan Michael Evans. Evans created the original ZAP logo back in 2005 and recently revamped it for ZAP's 20th anniversary.
During the event, Commissioner Gibson will highlight the 12 ZAP 20 artists who recently designed and painted 13 boxes around Sunset Park this past winter.
“Clark County’s ZAP program continues to highlight local artists and beautify our neighborhoods. 20 years is a wonderful milestone for this program, and we look forward to more years of public art to come,” said Commissioner Gibson. “The ZAP 20 boxes have given color and life to Sunset Park, adding more places for the community to enjoy public art.”
ZAP 20 consists of twelve local artists who were chosen to paint thirteen utility boxes in and around Sunset Park. Arthur Richmond, Cheyne Ellett, Dominique Chavira, Doris Martinez, Isabela Jimenez, Jeannette Hall, Jorge Ceja, Joyce Guerrero, Juan Cuevas, Meghan Dragon, Shan Michael Evans, and Victoria Hart. These artists were chosen for their unique styles, thoughtful designs, and connection to Sunset Park. Painting began in January of 2026 and was completed by February 2026. Please join us in celebrating these artists and their completed work during the ZAP 20th Anniversary event.
The ZAP! program was initiated in 2005 by Clark County Parks and Recreation in the Winchester Neighborhood.
