New Las Vegas Art Gallery Exceeds Expectations Despite Pandemic Restrictions

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Opening a new business venture during COVID-19 can be a risky proposition. However, the owners of Las Vegas’ newest art museum and gallery are thrilled with the response they’ve seen since moving to the Las Vegas Strip. When the

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Opening a new business venture during COVID-19 can be a risky proposition. However, the owners of Las Vegas’ newest art museum and gallery are thrilled with the response they’ve seen since moving to the Las Vegas Strip. When the Park West Fine Art Museum & Gallery opened in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in late December, the management team had no way to know if locals and tourists would be interested in visiting an art museum with the city’s COVID restrictions in place.

«With the current occupancy limits, we had very modest expectations,» said Albert Scaglione, Founder and CEO of Park West Gallery, the world’s largest art dealer. «We knew wanted to be in Las Vegas and we knew that people were still traveling to Vegas, but we didn’t know if those travelers would seek out a new art museum with everything that’s going on. On the contrary, almost immediately, we realized that the chance to experience art in person was exactly what a lot of these people were looking for.»

According to John Block, Park West’s Executive Vice President, the new museum exceeded all of their attendance and sales expectations within the first week and that trend has only continued to grow. «Every week, it just gets better and better. Vegas is embracing us in a way that we never could have anticipated,» said Block. «We’re very strict about our COVID protocols but people keep thanking us for providing this expansive space where they can browse art and really get up close to see the brushstrokes and the textures. People are hungry for in-person experiences right now and we’re happy that we can provide something beautiful and interesting that’s meeting that need.»

The free-to-the-public Park West Fine Art & Museum offers guests over 7,000-square-feet of art to explore. More than half of the location is dedicated to their museum collection, which presents a curated selection of masterworks from some of the greatest artists in history. Guests can find works that have appeared in museum exhibitions around the world from legendary artists like Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Toulouse-Lautrec, among others.

The remaining space at the new Park West Vegas location is dedicated to artists from their gallery collection—these are works of art that are available to purchase for interested guests. There is art available for every level of collector from many of today’s most popular artists such as Peter Max, Michael Godard, Nano Lopez, and Mark Kostabi, to name a few.

«While we’ve been excited to see how much people are loving our museum space, we’re equally happy to see how strong our art sales have been,» said Block. «I think there’s something really special about collecting art, particularly during the times we’re living in right now. It’s a very tactile, emotional, and physical experience, and it’s fantastic seeing people light up because they know they can take this new painting or new sculpture home with them.»

The owners of the new Park West Fine Art Museum & Gallery are also quick to point out how generous the Las Vegas community has been ever since they opened. «From day one, Las Vegas has been wonderful to us,» said Scaglione. «The people at Caesars have been exceptionally welcoming and our neighbors at the Forum Shops have told us how happy they are to have us there. It’s just great to see art and fellowship thriving as we’re all struggling to overcome this pandemic.»

Park West has big plans to keep expanding their presence in Las Vegas. In the coming weeks, they have plans to have some of their top artists make special appearances at the Vegas Museum & Gallery and they’re also exploring how the Park West Foundation, the company’s charitable arm, can begin contributing to local arts education efforts.

«Las Vegas has shown us that they’re a city that loves and appreciates art,» said Block. «We’re looking forward to showing Vegas that we love them too.»

The Park West Fine Art Museum & Gallery is located at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, 3500 Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109.

Heartland Alliance & Other National Organizations Release Plan for Equitable Economic Recovery

CHICAGO, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Thirty national organizations have pledged their support of a framework for a national subsidized employment program that was released today by Heartland Alliance.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Thirty national organizations have pledged their support of a framework for a national subsidized employment program that was released today by Heartland Alliance.

The framework calls on the Biden-Harris administration to include this equitable and large-scale subsidized jobs program as part of their economic recovery plan.

The recommendations include centering people of color — and especially women of color — who have been historically and currently left behind by our economy. The resource goes further in saying that failure to center people of color in recovery plans will stifle economic growth and prosperity, have long-lasting repercussions for families and communities hardest hit by the pandemic, and miss the opportunity to build back an economy that can withstand future downturns.

«Building back a better, stronger economy in the aftermath of COVID-19 requires policy solutions anchored in economic justice,» said Melissa Young, Senior Director of Research & Policy at Heartland Alliance. «We should seize the opportunity to rebuild our economy so that it works for people of color and would-be workers who have been excluded from or left behind by our labor market. An inclusive recovery will not only improve people’s lives, but improve our economy as a whole.»

Statements of Support

«All economic recovery efforts must center historically oppressed communities, especially Black and Brown youth and adults and those impacted by the criminal legal system. Even before the pandemic, too many communities were struggling to find work and earn livable wages. Young people, for example, were unemployed at twice the rate of the general public. In the midst of the public health crisis, young people of color are now experiencing unemployment rates that approach and surpass 50 percent. A national subsidized employment program that prioritizes those who have been systematically excluded from economic opportunity has the potential to redress deep-seated inequities and move us closer towards racial and economic justice.»

  • Kisha Bird, Director of Youth Policy, Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP).

«As we recover from COVID-19 and the economic havoc left in its wake, we must put equity at the center of our policymaking. Women of color have been hardest hit in this recession, and we will only know a true recovery when their economic security is front and center. This framework for subsidized jobs is an important strategy to do just that: investing in jobs and opportunity for the people struggling the most in today’s economy.»

  • Melissa Boteach, Vice President for Income Security and Child Care/Early Learning, National Women’s Law Center

«As an intermediary that invests in and advises employment social enterprises, we believe that individuals who are overcoming adversity, including those who have been historically excluded from the workforce, deserve the opportunity to contribute their skills and talents to our economy. This equity-centered framework will ensure that individuals who are overcoming structural barriers to employment are included in economic recovery efforts by highlighting how transitional jobs programs, like employment social enterprises, are a valuable first step on an individual’s career pathway.»

  • Manie Grewal, Head of Policy, REDF (Roberts Enterprise Development Fund)

«As the nation’s largest reentry employment organization, the Center for Employment Opportunities has seen firsthand the positive impact transitional jobs have in stable employment for our participants. Heartland Alliance’s equity-centered subsidized employment framework will ensure the 600,000 individuals returning home from incarceration each year have access to economic opportunity during COVID-19 recovery.»

  • Sam Schaeffer, Chief Executive Officer, Center for Employment Opportunities

«Today, at least three in 10 young people are out of school and out of work. A subsidized employment framework like this one will turn the tide for these opportunity youth and others who are consistently shut out of the labor market. The National Youth Employment Coalition is proud to have contributed to this proposal.»

  • Thomas Showalter, Executive Director, National Youth Employment Coalition
