WALLWORKS: A permanent art exhibit at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas with artist RETNA

Описание: RETNA's graffiti mural is one of four street art murals that are on exhibit as part of the permanent art installation at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas titled WALLWORKS. In this video, Southern California artist Marquis Lewis, also known as RETNA, talks about the unique opportunity he and the three other artists were given with the WALLWORKS project. He also talks about what inspires him and the creativity behind his mural at The Cosmopolitan, which is located on level B3 of The Cosmopolitan's parking garage.

WALLWORKS is four site-specific artist murals, which are located in The Cosmopolitan's parking garage on levels B2 through B5. The commissioned murals are by four major figures in contemporary art: Shepard Fairey, RETNA, Kenny Scharf and Shinique Smith.

The New York-based nonprofit Art Production Fund and The Cosmopolitan have partnered to bring art and artists to The Cosmopolitan so visitors and guests can experience different types of artwork in new, unique and unexpected ways.
