Celebrating 30 Years
For 30 years, the Summerlin Festival of Arts has brought artists and art lovers together for a weekend of inspiration, discovery, and connection. What began at Summerlin Centre Community Park has grown into a premier showcase of fine art, now held at The Lawn at Downtown Summerlin since 2015.
