The City of Las Vegas celebrated its 100th birthday in 2005. To celebrate, the City of Las Vegas decided to plan events throughout the year. One of the first events was the Las Vegas Centennial Celebration 100 Murals Project.
The Centennial Celebration mural was the “flagship” mural for the Las Vegas Centennial Celebration 100 Murals Project. The Lied Discovery Children’s Museum hosted the event with the help from Mayor Oscar Goodman and students from Elaine Wynn Elementary School. Also attending were representatives from the Home Depot who donated all the BEHR and Glidden paints for the artists.
By the end of 2005, there were a total of 150 murals throughout Southern Nevada. Murals were painted at: Clark County Public Schools, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Community College of Southern Nevada; Wynn Casino; Las Vegas Art Museum; Las Vegas Natural History Museum, Springs Preserve, and numerous nonprofit organizations throughout Southern Nevada.
