Park West Gallery and First Friday Foundation have announced that graffiti muralist and painter Black57 will be the second local artist featured in their new Artist in Residency Program.
This initiative aims to highlight the quality, variety, and distinctiveness of the Las Vegas fine art scene by supporting local artists with art supply donations and opportunities to display their work alongside masterpieces by renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Salvador Dali.
Black57, a self-taught Las Vegas artist known for his graffiti murals and chalk work, will be present at Park West Gallery at the Forum Shops from Thursday, April 24, 2025, through Sunday, April 27, 2025, and again from Thursday, May 1, 2025, through Sunday, May 4, 2025.
He will be available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on these dates, offering guests the chance to interact and learn about his artistic process.
A working artist since 2008, Black57 was introduced to graffiti art by his cousin at a young age and was influenced by his father’s collection of neoclassical paintings and pinup art.
He is a highly sought-after artist for commissioned work throughout the Las Vegas valley and beyond. Black57 has also collaborated with schoolchildren on mural projects and considers inspiring kids’ creativity to be the highest form of engagement his art can achieve.
The Artist in Residency Program will feature a new Las Vegas-based artist each month at Park West Gallery, located at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.
