Most cities have a fair amount of public art, which serves the purpose of beautifying, enlightening and gentrifying. It's easy when thinking of public art in Las Vegas to think solely of the giant kitsch and classical reproductions on the Strip, but residents know that is by far not the whole story.

Tucked away in the assorted neighborhoods of our city, there is art to be found and enjoyed. Some is easier to find than others and some stretch the definition of what is commonly perceived of as art, but there's more of it than most folks would imagine, and public art is definitely a growing concern in the valley.
