Nut graf: Presenters argued that printed reproductions (fabric banners, vehicle wraps, window perf and digitally printed panels) can display artists’ work widely at lower cost than painted murals, and that professional digitization preserves originals while enabling licensing and repeated installations; commissioners and staff raised questions about funding sources, program scope and the Percent for the Arts Fund’s permanence rules.

Scott Proctor demonstrated alternative applications — pole banners, bus/window graphics, floor graphics and laminated prints — and described lightweight aluminum frames that allow seasonally interchangeable fabric panels. He told commissioners that newer lamination technologies make some floor and interior graphics durable; walk-on surfaces have shorter lifespans than non-floor applications.

\"Pretty much any city vehicle could be a platform for art,\" Proctor said, describing wraps for buses, maintenance vehicles and utility boxes and noting that fabric and window materials now permit people inside to see out while displaying full graphics.

Commissioners asked about durability and cost. Proctor said walk-on graphics have shorter lifespans but COVID-era laminations lasted months to years in many installations; he said removable installations are feasible and that aluminum-frame banner systems are particularly cost-effective and easy to swap out. He also said artists can be compensated through licensing fees rather than payment for a single painted original.

Robert Park described high-resolution digitization and reprographic services, emphasizing professional capture techniques (large lights, cross-polarizing to reduce glare and micro-shift cameras) used to create files at very high megapixel counts for gallery-quality reproductions. Park said scanning and capture for an original can range from roughly $65 to $250 depending on size and complexity and that production and installation of printed applications are often a fraction of the cost of a painted mural.

\"Photographing your art may seem conceptually simple, but there's a lot that makes or breaks the accuracy of the colors and the resolution you'll get,\" Park said, explaining cross-polarizing lighting and multi-shot sensor micro-shift to create 187-megapixel exposures used to build high-resolution files.

Several commissioners supported the concept of traveling or vehicle-mounted exhibits, but Laura Machado clarified funding constraints: the Percent for the Arts Fund has stipulations tied to permanence and infrastructure; temporary banner programs typically come from the general fund. Mary Sabo added that staff already produces vinyl banners and artwork reproductions and asked commissioners whether the topic required further agenda time.

Ending: Commissioners agreed the vendors’ techniques have strong potential for increasing artist visibility; further action will require identifying a funding source and confirming whether the commission should oversee temporary programs or whether those should be advanced through council or mayoral channels.

\"We do projects like this already. We do vinyl banners, we do artwork reproductions,\" Mary Sabo said, asking that the commission note current staff capacity and funding lines.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CLV 04-17-2025 Arts Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Two vendors, Scott Proctor and Robert Park, presented commercial printing, vehicle-wrap and high-resolution art-digitization options and urged the commission to consider expanded use of banners, wraps and interchangeable printed installations in city spaces.","taxTitle","Las Vegas , Clark County, Nevada","taxId",2670,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":75,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":76,"_40":77,"_42":78,"_44":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6269277,"Las Vegas Cultural Affairs staff detail upcoming exhibits, public-art restorations and new commissions",518,466000,984000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044609-5c777517367806be677870804becb790&start=466&end=984","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044609-5c777517367806be677870804becb790/thumbnail_466000.jpg","/articles/6269277/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Las-Vegas-Cultural-Affairs-staff-detail-upcoming-exhibits-public-art-restorations-and-new-commissions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269277-38cff6ead377440481f348ebed1de88e/orig.mp4?Expires=1769920142&Signature=TT~Bs8MnjyJAFMC2dy0QkNlTa-C-0elFI~7UwhDlwSw7u8jLSS0K3bPtSgYWe4VWGQ~Xtx4WcRPOHrAeGB3oCFW8OSXIL~ySTJ2NKC2ECcAlcS5Icp6Vy1pW0uAxm6IfhhpQBmubL0oAoWdh-ftffTjiN4eR~yvg3CJXvjoBT47o8PmmwbwFbBlVRvKh6M95itBdiedAdOpk8lFeXwmCV399n3wMDP0doTX4to3h1YxDcsIqmev2uvdAZP3Bn3wpV9xod0Ou4qDcwAvri4KaRKbKZvPbfnybKqHnVWhsOCjUwcHUQeFuRXSQXjdvSm8pRS9wtKLMApJpKVKGINkRHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chair Sapir Cherk opened the commission meeting and Cultural Affairs staff provided a monthly summary of current initiatives and upcoming events, including an artist reception for Bailey Anderson’s Window on First installation (April 24) and multiple public programs through late 2025.

The staff presentation, led by Mary Sabo, listed dates and locations for city-sponsored events (Art in the Park, the Celebrating Life awards reception and other community festivals) and reminded commissioners that Nevada Arts Council fellowship applications close May 1, 2025; the individual artist fellowship award is up to $5,000.

Nut graf: The report outlined near-term public programming, multi-year temporary installations and conservation projects that affect the city’s collection and placement decisions, and flagged several projects whose installation depends on building-safety reviews or the Civic Center construction timeline.

Staff described two public-art tours planned to comply with quorum rules (groups of six commissioners), the first tentatively set for Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025, 11 a.m.–3 p.m., with RSVPs requested by July 1. The commission learned that three artists (David Fay, Ross Takahashi and Vision) are contracted for the new “3 on Main” rotating temporary-sculpture program; those works will be installed this summer and remain on view for two years.

Laura Machado and Mary Sabo reviewed progress on Civic Center interior commissions: a 12-by-12-foot oil painting by Jig Deppio (completed), a nearly finished 4-by-4-foot woven sculptural basket by Fawn Douglas, a 9-by-8-foot painting by Valentin Yordanoff (completed in April) and a 7-by-6-foot mixed-media piece by Sebastian Corti still in fabrication. Staff said building-construction delays changed the installation timetable; interior art is now set for a later install (staff gave February as the revised target for interior installation). For the Civic Center plaza, Crystal Ramirez has completed an initial project milestone and structural-engineering drawings are being prepared for Building and Safety review, with installation slated for summer months.

Sabo said the public-art program continues condition assessments and selected a vendor for restoration of the Paintbrush Gateway sculptures; that contract is under review. The commission also heard that a conservation group cleaned the Living Black Pillars (artist Chase McCurdy) and that Eric Vizzola completed repairs to partnership murals at Doug Selby Park. Design presentations for the Mirabelli Community Center mural concluded and staff expects to notify the awarded artist next week.

Commissioners asked about storage, display and placement for new acquisitions and temporary works. Laura Machado warned that ceramics are delicate and the program prefers permanent siting to avoid repeated moves; staff said they do not yet have a permanent location for several incoming works until Civic Center spaces open. Commissioners suggested contacting offices on the city’s seventh floor about space, but staff noted the mayor’s suite and adjacent exhibition spaces are nearly full.

Ending: Staff said they will continue monthly updates on education programming in the staff report; the commission next meets May 15 at 4 p.m., and staff will return with placement options for any incoming donated works.

\"We would want these to find a permanent place, because as you know, ceramics can be delicate,\" Laura Machado said when commissioners asked about placement and storage.","Cultural Affairs staff presented monthly updates covering seasonal events, artist fellowships, temporary banner and rotating-sculpture programs, conservation work and progress on Civic Center interior commissions; commissioners asked about display locations and storage for new acquisitions.",{"_32":87,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":88,"_40":89,"_42":90,"_44":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6269267,"Arts commission tables vote on donation of two ceramic works by local artist Denise Dorote",417,2588000,3005000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044609-5c777517367806be677870804becb790&start=2588&end=3005","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044609-5c777517367806be677870804becb790/thumbnail_2588000.jpg","/articles/6269267/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Arts-commission-tables-vote-on-donation-of-two-ceramic-works-by-local-artist-Denise-Dorote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269267-0591f3be00e38bd767d9e6e812e145e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1769920142&Signature=ZFKqGP9-LnLo4PwZke4rioXZgFk5HyXO5y-2byRRGnvr7cYLzFH981qDOJQgSpEdVPnQ1Vcv-TKsJr6~b27f9KYYsrcAqALd1EIZV7zciDepRTCU2QqVwq08ayq-~rgPSid1G5Uj7yZfPiHNw5wlOdHP0lKRBeJme2p3ekczg0SU-xbi6jwFul~XmUekDTAccy22klVhi95TTI14xZNc7yPnKeP7WyTqwDNMbkxJUN4v7tBCFDmYVChL-Ns56-n6Mb-rAeZqnWjfb9n9jNmYo2l4rLWuEfVwUq3zmkr5F-6e-xq3h5wotKBI18L84rj92NRXS5CfhiqkZxf0kcFiOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cultural Affairs staff presented a proposal to accept two works donated by local artist Denise Dorote into the city’s permanent public-art collection. Mary Sabo said staff had several pieces by the artist already and that Denise approached staff with additional works because she is moving out of town.

Nut graf: Staff asked commissioners to deliberate on accepting one or both pieces into the permanent collection; commissioners raised conservation and display concerns for ceramic works and, after discussion about possible permanent locations or short-term storage, moved to table the item to a future meeting.

Mary Sabo described the two pieces: one listed as \"o-dash-s-18-b\" (stoneware, plaster, glaze, paint, wood, stain, grout, thinset; created 02/2007) and the second titled \"Terra Las Vegas\" with similar materials and dimensions. Staff reported both works are valued at $2,000 each and indicated no fiscal impact if accepted. Commissioners questioned whether the works could be sited permanently or would be placed into storage; Laura Machado warned that ceramics are fragile and repeated moving risks damage.

Commissioner Chi moved to accept both pieces. After further discussion about storage locations and the new Civic Center facility being the preferred permanent location, Commissioner DeSantis asked to table the discussion to the next meeting. Commissioner Roberts seconded the motion to table, and the motion passed by voice vote.

Ending: Staff will follow up on feasible permanent siting and storage options and return the donation for future consideration.

\"We would want these to find a permanent place, because as you know, ceramics can be delicate, and if we move these kinds of objects often, we risk damaging them,\" Laura Machado said during the donation discussion.","The commission discussed a proposed donation of two ceramic pieces by a local artist; staff described conservation and placement concerns and commissioners voted to table the decision to a future meeting.","actionData","errors"]
