"It’s a question that comes up a lot: How do we support the arts? Start by clearing your calendar for this free, one-day celebration of Las Vegas creatives. The third annual Shameless Plug Arts Festival offers a window into our city’s best and brightest musicians, designers, zine-makers, sculptors and painters under the banner of fostering a more supportive community around the scene. Local art collective and media company Eccentric Artists launched the festival in 2021 as a way to invite collaboration without competition. This year’s fest, themed around the nostalgia of the late ’90s and early 2000s, features more than 25 exhibitors, including queer zine-maker Cosmic Q Publishing and stop-motion animator Imaginary Frames, plus live performances from pop/hip-hop outfit Panda, singer-songwriter Rhaina Yasmin, musical comic and actress Serenity Garcia (Party Down, Home Economics), Latin funk band The Red Seduction and more. Also returning this year is Eccentric Artists’ film showcase challenge, in which attendees will view and vote on indie submitted films based on nostalgia."
