Community - Art - Fun

Art is an expression of the imagination. Aesthetic, utilitarian, functional, educational, joyful, there is no one definition of art. We do know art stimulates creativity, reflects culture, fosters empathy, provokes thought and offers a medium for expression (1).

There's more to do in Las Vegas then gamble on the Strip or Fremont Street. The Arts District, connecting Downtown with the Strip, is an eclectic collection of independent businesses, vibrant art galleries and a mix of single family residences and modern apartment living spaces. We are a community of interesting people.

The Arts District started almost 25 years ago with 18 blocks of hardworking small businesses and local artists. We've grown but we still embrace our humble beginnings. As we became more popular and the investors continued to move in, we, the community, realized we needed to do something to help keep art in the Arts District.

Our Annual Fundraiser held during our November mixer celebrates our local artists with an art auction. Join us at our November 18, 2024 mixer and bid on art and local business gift baskets, event tickets and gift cards from local businesses, and enjoy local cuisine all in support of keeping art in the Las Vegas Arts District.
