Join us to create fall-themed art for the Community Sustainable Art Wall at Clark County Library using recyclable materials supplied for this project. Artwork will be displayed starting September.
The Community Sustainable Art Wall at Clark County Library was developed in 2020 to help the library recycle discarded items by taking expired magazines and newspapers, worn discarded books, cardboard boxes, old event flyers & poster boards, and other single-use materials and repurposing them into works of public art created by library customers, community volunteers and library staff. The artwork is intended to be enjoyed by all who visit the library with the hopes of spreading awareness of global pollution concerns and encouraging conservation of natural resources by reusing what already exists. Periodically, the Art Wall will include original artwork and poster displays on various humanities topics in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, local and national community partners.
Artwork created during the June workshops will be displayed on the Community Sustainable Art Wall at Clark County Library scheduled for the 2024 fall/winter season. All materials will be supplied for the project.
Free admission and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
