Fine Arts In The News
Students across southern Nevada could soon see their designs featured on the Sphere's Exosphere. On Thursday morning, the company announced they are hosting the inaugural "Sphere XO Student Design Challenge" and students from the Clark County School District and University of Nevada, Las Vegas will have the opportunity to create art for the venue.
For decades, movies have been made about Las Vegas, or they’ve used Las Vegas as something of a main character. Casino, Leaving Las Vegas, The Hangover, Swingers …and the list goes on. When those movies are made, crews often spend a few days here but do most of the filming and editing in California studios. For years, there’s been a push to change that, to get more of that production work in Nevada. Jobs in film production pay relatively higher wage and they don’t all require a four-year degree.
Las Vegas community members will have the opportunity to see their artwork displayed on the Exosphere — the viral outer shell of the Sphere that has gained worldwide attention over the last year for its repertoire of designs, including advertisements for movies, grinning emojis, giant basketballs and more.
Local students will get their chance to see art they create displayed on the Sphere later this year. Sphere Entertainment Co. on Thursday announced the start of the first-of-its-kind Sphere XO Student Design Challenge. More than 100,000 Clark County School District and UNLV students will be invited to submit their work for the contest, which will begin this month. The winners will get their work displayed on the venue’s exosphere, and the company will donate $10,000 to their school’s art program.
Sphere Entertainment Co. today announced the inaugural Sphere XO Student Design Challenge – a first-of-its-kind partnership with the greater Las Vegas community that, for the very first time, gives select members of the general public the opportunity to see their art featured on the Exosphere. The Sphere XO Student Design Challenge is a collaboration between Sphere and the Clark County School District (CCSD) and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) that will provide more than 100,000 Clark County-based students with an unprecedented opportunity to create art for the Exosphere.
The visual and performing arts are in full swing throughout the state. Making good on its promises to bring more activity and people to Commercial Center, Clark County has just launched a program with UNLV, which will produce cultural events at the East Sahara complex.
