The College of Fine Arts/Clark County partnership continues at 7 p.m. on June 5 with the 'Commercial Center Reimagined' documentary film screening at the Composers Room, located in historic Commercial Center, 953 E. Sahara Ave. The event is free and open to the public. Those who make reservations here receive a complimentary buffet.
This program features the debut of a 15-minute documentary, created by UNLV Film Documentaries, about the revitalization of Las Vegas’ Historic Commercial Center. Built in 1963 as Las Vegas’ first outdoor shopping center, this historical epicenter of Las Vegas culture experienced a downward decline beginning in the 1990s. Now, however, Clark County is embarking on a bold mission to reclaim Commercial Center’s heyday and re-establish it as Las Vegas’ exciting new Arts Innovation District.
This Arts in the Center season featured an array of music, visual arts, film and theatre events, culminating with the screening June 5, all of which were free and open to the public.
Arts in the Center is the first public demonstration of a new partnership that has been forged between Clark County and UNLV’s College of Fine Arts. Its purpose is to expand the reach of arts programming created at UNLV while providing free quality arts programming to the community at large.
