The Arts and Culture Future of Las Vegas, NM

A public service announcement from Roy Montibon:


The old First Baptist Church - future site of the new Las Vegas Community Arts & Culture Center

Hello Everyone -

This is a reminder about the Charrette that's coming up this
Saturday, April 5th at United World College. It is being hosted by
UWC and MainStreet Las Vegas and will be held at Kluge
Auditorium from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

The purpose of the charrette is to brainstorm ideas for Arts
& Culture programs at the First Babtist Church Building at
University and 7th (see attached PDF). UWC, in partnership
with MainStreet Las Vegas, will be working with Highlands
University and several community organizations to develop
and operate an all-new Arts & Culture Center for Las Vegas
in the former First Babtist Church building. Latent in it's 16,000
square feet and 2/3 of an acre are many amazing arts and
education possibilities.

The possibility of an arts magnet school is on the table, as are
K-12 arts augmentation (i.e., field trips, guest presenters), after-
school arts programs, undergraduate and post-graduate arts
enrichment programs (i.e., mentorships, internships, studio visits,
guest speakers, etc.), adult education in the arts, theater and music
performance space, rehearsal space, shared non-profit office space...
and simply space for students from our different schools to hang out,
share ideas and get to know each other. I'm sure that list is only just
scratching the surface...

Bring your thoughts, ideas, energy and imagination.

Coffee and snacks will be available during the Charrette.

Thanks.

Roy
