More than 100 artists on The Lawn

The show brings together fine artists from across the country, selected by a jury panel. That range makes it worth taking a first lap before you settle on favorites. Look across media and styles, from work for a wall to pieces that can be lived with every day, and ask artists what materials and ideas shaped a particular work.

Children’s activities make the weekend accessible for families, while the art remains the central attraction. The 30th anniversary offers a chance to see how a long-running local festival continues to introduce new artists. If you hope to buy, note the dimensions of the space you have in mind and ask each artist about care, installation and shipping.

A simple plan for your visit

Arrive early enough to see the full grounds before the afternoon closes at 4 p.m. Keep water and sun protection handy for an outdoor Las Vegas event. Downtown Summerlin has nearby dining and shopping, so allow time for a break without rushing your conversations at the booths.
