Cirque de Soleil & City of Las Vegas Mural

My daughter, Kathy, and I were going to tour the Arts Factory (
) at first, but were detoured for a moment by the mural which I assumed was a tribute to Cirque de Soleil and the City of Las Vegas. The mural is located on the East side of the building adjacent to the West of the the Arts Factory building.
Later, we found out that previous to Las Vegas’ centennial year of 2005, invitations were sent out to businesses asking them by the Centennial Commission to host murals around the Las Vegas area. As part of the cultural and educational advancement of Las Vegas, a goal of one-​hundred murals was the objective during Vegas’ one-​hundredth birthday.
This is only one of over a hundred murals celebrating the Centennial.
This specific mural, I guess, was commissioned by Cirque de Soleil… pretty obvious isn’t it… to Mark Jenkins, a Las Vegas artist. His website can be viewed at: (
). The only demand placed upon the business was to maintain the mural for a period of five years.
Despite it’s obvious endorsement of it’s sponsor… still better than no culture at all, I guess.
