Omega Mart
Artist Liaison
In my capacity as the Las Vegas Artist Liaison, I was thrilled to help birth the concept of the Mega Art Zone, fueled by my desire to create the opportunity for over 50 local Las Vegas artists to participate. We hired a local muralist and sculptor for the installation, who got to work with some awesome Meow Wolf founders and crew in a series of overnight creations. This project also gives the ongoing opportunity to 45+ local Vegas artists to create the mini-art sold inside the art vending machines, providing a fun creative challenge and regular monthly income for this talented bunch of local makers.
