Hello All,
Wanted to invite you all to come and hangout at what I hope will be a fun evening of creative arts, cool music, great food and interesting people like yourself. Dine Arts;culture and cuisine will be beginning its weekly run at Fly Lounge, adjacent to the popular Firefly Restaurant on Paradise, this Sunday and every Sunday thereafter. Each week we will showcase local artists, musicians, DJs, designers and the like, in a chill and relaxed space. Add to the mix Firefly's famous Tapas and Sangria and drink specials featuring ÍS Vodka, its the perfect way to spend a Sunday evening.
Checkout our starting line-up:
| ART
Niki Sands- Born to Greek parents, Niki's passion for the Mediterranean is evident in many of her works, exhibiting vitality and a vivid use of color, while still maintaining a certain softness. An emerging artist, Niki paints elusively, yet constructively with both oils and acrylics, with one never quite knowing what to expect from her next, as she enjoys experimenting with various styles and techniques. Niki's art is collected throughout the United States as well as Canada and Europe.

| ART
 Joseph Watson - Joseph Watson has two styles that he creates; a sophisticated decor style and a more "street" style. The former involves subject matter such as ocean life, delicious seafood dishes and African influenced imagery. The surface is swirled with gesso and then painted with acrylics. The latter creates imagery such as busy urban flea markets to uncomfortable bus rides. This style is usually a mix between tight pencil sketching combined with the lastest digital painting techniques.

 Hand-crafted jewelry by INDYflow
INDYflow can be explained in different ways: dancing to the beat of your own music, letting your individuality flow, expressing the creativity in your mind through your body—
Marybel Gomez, a Vegas local and adventurer at heart, started INDYflow as a way of sharing her own creativity: hand-made work done with love and positive vibes. Her pieces are a product of influences and experiences acquired during her travels in Mexico and Peru. Take note, her pieces are not just for fashion - they can have real meanings in your life. They can remind you to keep dreaming, growing, and flying.

Vegas has no culture! Vegas has no culture! I hear that all the time and I don't believe it. Culture is not pizza; it won't be delivered to your door. You have to get off the couch and go get it. Dine Arts at Fly Lounge. Sundays. See you there.
Peace
Douglas Gibbs
