The City of Las Vegas celebrates its unique and iconic character through public art and cultural events. From murals to large sculpture, the city recognizes the impact that art has on its community and ensures access to art throughout the city. As a reflection of the community, artists and artworks are selected that contribute lasting impact.

Projects include:
• Conservation and maintenance
• Murals in neighborhood parks
• Public art education series
• Annual Arts Summit

In addition to building community pride and improving the economic and social environment of communities, public art is credited with reducing crime and graffiti. Numerous studies in cities across the country cite the impact of public art on safety and community well-being. Most importantly, public art engages the community and helps to create more vibrant neighborhoods where people want to live and visit.

Partnership Opportunities

Partnerships in a variety of levels are sought by the Mayor’s Fund, including funding for individual sculpture, murals, and other public art projects, as well as cultural events, including the city’s annual Arts Summit that convenes arts organizations – large and small – to collaborate and problem-solve on issues affecting the arts.
