BACKGROUND:
The Art Committee was created in accordance with Clark County Code 2.90 and pursuant to the authority established by the Board of County Commissioners through Agenda Item 49 approved on December 4, 2012. The Art Committee bylaws require that the committee consists of seven (7) artists, art professionals, and other County residents with art expertise. These individuals evaluate proposed and existing County development projects, select sites for which art will be commissioned, and recommend approaches and budgets for commissioning artworks for each site. Of the seven members two (2) are arts faculty members from accredited institutions of higher education in Clark County; one (1) is a professional architect or landscape architect; and one (1) is an arts staff member from a local entity within Southern Nevada, excluding Clark County. The remaining positions are filled by independent professional artists, if such individuals are available to serve. Members are chosen by the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Board of County Commissioners must ratify the appointment.
This will be Mary Sabo's second and last term, according to the bylaws of the arts plan. Mary Sabo was the only applicant. Application ran from April 1 to April 20, 2026, and was posted on the Art Committee Webpage and the Board and Commissions webpage.
The Department of Parks and Recreation requests approval of Ms. Sabo's reappointment.
