This review is specifically for Vivid gallery inside the arts factory. We were inside their gallery at first Friday tonight. A shooting occurred outside the building and the owner (?) employee working there started yelling forcefully for everyone to get out of the gallery screaming there was a shooting. He pushed everyone out and one of the people being pushed out said “wouldn’t we be safer inside?” The man proceeded to kick everyone out and lock his gallery and hit behind a curtain peaking at all of the people he just kicked out that were huddled in the lobby shocked and nervous about an active shooter outside. This is APPALLING behavior from a local gallery owner as first Friday is a local event with LOCALS that come to support your gallery and spend money. The fact that he threw us all out to which the female employee muttered something along the lines of “at least we will be safe” is unforgivable. You should be ashamed of yourselves not only as people of the Vegas community but as humans.

Really awesome gallery space warehouse in the Arts District. This place is free to get into which I feel like doesn’t exist in Vegas. You can just wander around and look at a bunch of cool art that is hung up in the communal spaces and hallways and pop into individual shops and artist galleries some of which are making art on site. This is a great place to buy a gift or pick up something unique to bring back from Vegas. That isn’t just crap from the strip.

A great place to visit to see locally made art and meet local artists. The building is comprised of art galleries and studios, providing a lively experience and a wide range of art styles. We started our Las Vegas Arts District tour here and it was a gem in the area and serves as the gateway to the Las Vegas Arts Distict. We were lucky enough to be there on a First Friday which included many additional art vendors, live music and food trucks.

A great place to visit to see the local art seen in Las Vegas. There are 20+ gallery showcasing all styles of art including pop, abstract, photography and more. The location can't be beat, next to restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, galleries and shops. A fun way to spend an afternoon. Note: Each gallery sets their own hours.

You think of Las Vegas and think of only 1 thing - The Las Vegas strip. You'd never know that real people live in the city and that they all don't live in casinos. Further, you'd never know that anyone COOOOOL lived there and that there is an actual culture there. Downtown Las Vegas offers people the authentic side of Las Vegas. Main street, The Arts Factory, ArtSquare. These are the places where Las Vegas artists live and create. You'll get to see them creating live in their gallery. No other place in Las Vegas offers this. Ride the Downtown Loop! It's FREE to get all around Downtown. Take it up to Fremont east. You'll see TONS of murals. Life is Beautiful and Downtown Project have really done wonders :) What a place to call home!!
