Leave it to the master plan of Summerlin to have the most anticipated Festival of the Arts in Southern Nevada! This is the 27th year for the arts festival as it returns to Downtown Summerlin® Oct. 13–15 and is expanding from two to three days for the first time with new event hours starting at 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
The festivities are sponsored by Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. and the Las Vegas Review-Journal and feature the works of more than 100 fine artists and craftsmen from Southern Nevada and surrounding states. A jury of local art experts carefully selects each craftperson.
The displays are set on The Lawn and under the Pavilion at Downtown Summerlin. The festival offers free parking and a lively atmosphere for the entire family.
The 2023 roster of artists includes many popular and returning artists, and of course, some new artists are in the mix. The pieces of art are in various mediums, including oil, watercolor, pottery, sculpture, photography, glass, and jewelry—all in a mix of contemporary and classic designs.
The art and culture of the Southern Paiute tribe will have their second year at the festival. There will be handcrafted Southern Paiute fine art and folk crafts available for purchase, and you can experience the authentic Native American dances performed.
For the first time, the Summerlin Festival of Arts has partnered with the First Friday Foundation to feature live art demonstrations on Friday, Oct. 13. Guests can watch four different First Friday Foundation artists and see their visions come to life as they paint spool tables during Festival hours on Friday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. You should also visit the First Friday Foundation booth.
The UNLV Engineering School and Nevada Association of Land Surveyors will offer interactive hands-on science activities for the science-minded. Several High Schools from Las Vegas will host various student-driven art demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14–15.
Plus, at The Children’s Pavilion, hosted by Discovery Children’s Museum, families can participate in hands-on activities including a fall leaf hedgehog craft and unique character art creations using one-of-a-kind designs from a local artist. The Las Vegas Review-Journal is providing community mascots, balloon artists, and face painters to round out the festival’s offerings for kids.
If that isn’t enough, The Art of The Classic Car presented by The Mustang and Classic Ford Club of Las Vegas, will have a variety of cars on display along Festival Plaza Drive on Saturday, October 14.
