The
Clark
County
Government
Center
is the county’s main administrative office building.
The complex has won many awards for its architectural
design, which reflects the area’s geology and native
peoples with a generous use of sandstone as a decorative
material. The rotunda is the central lobby with a
six-floor ceiling.
Artwork
for the rotunda must be three-dimensional. No wall
hanging or leaning works will be considered for this
space. Covered pedestals are available for smaller
pieces. Applicants are advised to visit the rotunda to
get a sense of the scale and dimensions.
The
Winchester
Cultural
Center
offers classes, programs, performances and special
events. The center houses a small gallery of about 90
linear feet. Two and three-dimensional work as well as
media-based and installation work will be considered.
Exhibits
are publicized with postcard mailers, posters, news
releases and emails. An opening reception with
refreshments is provided. The County takes no commission
on sale of work. Exhibits are usually displayed for 6-8
weeks. All work must remain in the exhibit until the end
of the show.
Applicants
are asked to submit a proposal describing the work, the
medium, size and number of pieces, a thematic statement
and which space the proposal is for, with name included
on all pages.
