The Las Vegas Art Museum is pleased to present the 55th Art Round-Up Juried Exhibition, a show featuring the work of 150 local artists from August 6-31, 2006.

Art Roundup, which is in its 55th year of existence at the Las Vegas Art Museum, was first held in the Museum’s Lorenzi Park location in 1951 as a way to provide local artists more exposure within the Las Vegas arts community. This year’s exhibition will feature 155 works by 150 artists in categories of Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Video, Works on Paper, and Watercolor. First, Second, and Third Place awards of $150, $100, and $50 respectively will be announced in each category at the reception August 5th, as well as a single award for Best in Show of $1,000.

Jeffrey Ryan, a curator based in Long Beach, California who served as the juror, remarked, “We’ve rounded up a herd of fine work, and this is going to be one of the best Art Roundups yet. Yee-haw!”

Art Roundup is sponsored by the LVAM Members’ Fund, and the award for Best in Show is sponsored by LVAM Benefactors Wally Goodman and Patrick Duffy.
