Gipsy Las Vegas Debuts 'Showcase Saturdays': A Weekly Celebration of Diverse Art Forms
Every Saturday at Gipsy Las Vegas transforms into a celebration of creativity and talent with "Showcase Saturdays." Each week highlights a different artistic discipline, featuring collaborations with renowned partners and offering a unique experience for all attendees.

This week / Third Saturdays: Fine Art with Robin Slonina and Slonina ArtSpace | 7PM - 10:30PM
On the third Saturday, Showcase Saturdays shifts to the visual arts, curated by Robin Slonina of Slonina ARTSpace. Gipsy transforms into a pop-up art exhibit, showcasing exceptional works from selected artists.
Attendees can view and purchase original artwork, interact with the artists, and enjoy a night dedicated to the beauty and diversity of fine art. This partnership supports and highlights local artists, enriching the Las Vegas art scene.

June Featured Artists: ArtWavy
David Soto and Janel Raihl were both born on the West Coast, David in Southern California, and Janel on the San Juan Islands, but today they call Las Vegas their adopted home. In 2018, the two artists joined forces to create the Art Wavy brand in the heart of the Las Vegas Arts District. Originally operating as a small studio, they recently expanded into a print shop and gallery space inside the Arts Factory. The art is made in the open through the adjacent connected space, often allowing the public to peer inside. They believe “local is global” and strive to create a world community through art interactions. The many travelers visiting their space provide a current exchange of inspiration and ideas from a worldwide perspective, from the local neon and beyond.
Abstract and gestural mark-making on various surfaces is the epitome of their work. A utilization of frenzied energy and cosmic connections reflected in color, nature, and nightlife are created in a handmade style. They love layering experimental applications of paint and pigments with a variety of tools. Their chosen mediums include spray paint, powdered pigments, and ink. Most unconventionally, their artwork isn’t made with paint brushes - but with squeeze bottles, stamps, and squeegees.
