Unbound: 4th Annual Plein Air Invitational
May 2 — July 25
Reception: Saturday, May 16 | 1 - 3 pm

Each spring, Wetlands Park invites local artists to create art en plein air during its annual Art Day event. The work on display was created in part on Saturday, March 21 during Art Day 2026.

French for “outdoors,” plein air artists today continue a rich tradition in art history of capturing nature from direct observation. Typically, the initial composition is created on site, with further work completed in the artist’s studio based on photographs, sketches, and notes. Additional visits to the site may be warranted. This practice allows the artist to capture more of what it feels like to be surrounded by nature: the warmth of the sun, branches swaying in the breeze, the sound of water. Painting landscapes merely from a photograph, like acting in front of a green screen, is thought by some to lead to inauthentic results - hence the impulse to paint, unbound, in nature.

SOUND
Temporary Outdoor Sculpture Installation
March 14 – May 15, 2026

Ten southern Nevada artists have been selected for inclusion in SOUND, with works that interpret the soundscape of Wetlands Park as visual and spatial concepts, evoking the park's soundscape through form, movement, texture, and materials rather than audio playback.

The installation is located on a short trail adjacent to the Wetlands Park Nature Preserve parking lot. Click here for a map to the entrance.

SOUND is made possible by Clark County Public Arts.
