The Life is Beautiful Music & Art Festival is the fourth annual festival that brings all people together to create an immersive music, art, food and idea experience. Musicians, chefs, artists and speakers come together and give attendees this amazing experience. This year it will be taking place in the Western Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
Life is Beautiful has partnered with the M Modern Gallery to bring an exhibition called “Crime on Canvas” to the three-day festival.
Jay Nailor, owner of M Modern Gallery and curator of the Crime on Canvas lineup, said, “We wanted to create an experience that showcases the influence music and art have on each other. By bringing in these incredible artists from all around the world, we’re not only doing that, but we are exposing attendees to the only exhibition that will ever feature all of these artists at once.”
Attendees have the exclusive opportunity to view and purchase original works and rare prints by more than 80 artists from the local, national and international level.
The theme of the exhibit is planned to be dark and eerie, showcasing pieces fully-encompassing that idea.
General Admission and VIP 3-day tickets are available here.
Artists showcasing their works include:
- Shag, illustrator best known for creating album covers for Smash Mouth, Nancy Sinatra, Pixies and more.
- Brandon Boyd, lead vocalist for Multi-Platinum rock band Incubus.
- Shepard Fairey, known for his iconic Obama campaign poster.
