Renewable Envoy (Nevada, USA)

Facilitating and developing renewable powered public art projects, demonstrations and installations

Renewable Envoy is an ignitable force and social movement to utilize renewable energy for public art in Southern Nevada. As the geothermal, solar and wind resources of Nevada continue to be developed, our identity and economic development will become linked to these natural phenomenons.

Public art can make us pay attention to our civic environment; it can encourage us to question what’s around us. Public art can create civic icons, and it also can transform our streets, local businesses, playgrounds, bus/train stations, traffic circles, hospitals, water treatment facilities, and airports into more vibrant expressions of human imagination. By building and reinforcing community culture, public art can be a powerful catalyst for community generation or regeneration.
