hi there, i like these works. i found you guys through the unlv website. i am an artist (painter) and i just did an mfa in edinburgh scotland. i am vaguely debating relocating to vegas because i think i would like to base a series of works on the city (and i partially grew up there, so it is bound up in memory). anyways i am trying to get a feel for the art community to see if there is anything interesting going on. seems small and probably lots of paintings of strippers, but anything underground or alternative or conceptual? just curious if you think you can sustain a career there or if you are dying to escape to LA or something. really interesting projects you have tho, thanks for the blog.
Hello Jessica, Yes, the community here is small, and it's difficult to answer your question about the underground/alternative/conceptual works being done here now. I think there are some of those things happening (intermittently, erratically), but it's challenging to chart trajectories here. I'm trying with this http://lasvegascac.blogspot.com/ Feel free to email as well, and we can discuss maybe more at length mdombrosky@gmail.com Best, Marc
