About this audio guide
This guide to The Arts Factory in Las Vegas follows commercial photographer Wes Myles, who rented a dusty office-supply warehouse in 1991 for studio space and ended up founding the city's arts district by accident. You'll hear how other artists moved in, how the Nevada Institute for Contemporary Art and the Contemporary Arts Collective set up here, and how Myles pushed the building further with a street festival betting people would keep coming back. Listen for why the New York Times once called this stretch of Charleston Boulevard the least Las Vegas neighborhood in Vegas.
