The Las Vegas Arts District By Carolyn Muse Grant
T
he Arts District in Las Vegas has been around for many years and over that time changes have been made and local artists have come and gone. We have been so fortunate to have so many wonderfully talented artists in the area. And, we feel lucky to share four extremely talented ones with you in this edition of Chic Compass. You get to meet Deana Khoshhaba, Alexander Huerta, Phyllis Pezzella and Dray Wilmore. Phyllis invited me to come down and meet her and the other artists and it was a most wonderful experience. As I met them and the stories came out I realized I had met Dray years ago when he was a participant in other galleries I had known with several other artists. Twenty years ago he moved here from Los Angeles and got established as a local artist. He did move around with some other talented folks but is settled in the Arts District now. Of this group, he was the first to be a Las Vegan!
