The Dirty Hooks, Same Sex Mary, and Stereoglass along with musicians Cameron Calloway, Jesse Pino, and Mike Xavier will have their lyrics feature at AIGA Las Vegas 4th Annual Lush Words + Design, a Collaborative Exhibition.

This year the exhibition has been extended to include the lyrics from an array of locally acclaimed and seasoned Las Vegas bands and musicians.

The exhibition at Escape Artist Studios in Art Square on First Friday, July 5, 2019 at 6 pm will feature poetry performances hosted by Reese Darko beginning at 8pm.

The event will feature original, framed typographic artwork created as a collaborative effort between local poets, lyricists, artists, and designers. Artists and graphic designers have created visual interpretations of poems and song lyrics.

Attendees can take part in a silent auction for the works of art. Funds will go to help support future programs and initiatives from the local chapter of AIGA, a national nonprofit dedicated to promoting the art of design. Each year, AIGA members develop and produce more than 1,000 local events through AIGA chapters across the country, including design lectures, portfolio reviews, networking sessions, competitions, exhibitions, and studio tours.

Poets include: Andrew Clark Hall, Brianna Florian, Cassie Wagmeister, Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña, Jeffrey Bennington, and Obbie West.

This year's participating artists and graphic designers include:

Brent Holmes, Cynthia Carbajal, Chelsea Caseres, David Sly, Jed Olsen, Kelsey Walsh, Kayci Younger, Manny Avila, Mary Hill, Mika Kopanski, Roxy B. Montoya, and Tiki Jay One.
