LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Clark County’s Wetlands Park recently announced the Spotlight on Nature Gallery in its newly renovated gallery in the Nature Center.
Enabling Wetlands Park to highlight more local artwork, Spotlight on Nature (SONG) has annual shows that will include a themed juried exhibition featuring artwork created in the park during its annual Art Day event. It will also include a solo exhibit by each year’s Artist in Residence.
The inaugural exhibit at the Spotlight on Nature Gallery will be Gifts of the Wetlands (2023), the 2nd Annual Wetlands Park Juried Exhibition.
