What To See In The Downtown Vegas Arts District
Taking downtown by storm is the fruition of growing restaurants, art galleries, bars and shops in the Arts District of Las Vegas known as 18-block zone or 18b. For those that love shopping vintage-style clothing and furniture, there are a number of stores in 18b that are right up your alley. Check out The Funk House with 1950s finds from paintings to lighting and art glass to ceramics. If you’re looking for more modern interior decorations, make a stop at Patina Décor where you can find eclectic pieces for the home like one-of-a-kind chandeliers and art installations. If you work up a thirst while walking around 18b, head to Velveteen Rabbit, a local bar that melds local art, music and craft cocktails into one. Artifice Bar and Lounge is another option where you can grab a drink and peruse paintings and photography from featured artists across the globe. For the art lovers of the world, you’ll be in heaven with the smattering of galleries of all sizes featuring all types of artistry. Check out Orego’s Juniper Art Gallery, Jana’s Red Room or 3rd Street Studio. Feeling inspired?
