| "FLOURISH", a Las Vegas Cultural Corridor Urban Trail Sidewalk Enhancement is a wayfinding marker enhancement along 12 city blocks installed in 2011.Funded by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) and the Las Vegas Arts Commission, the Cultural Corridor Urban Trail sidewalk enhancements consist of 12 city blocks of 25 repeating wings and 8 flourishes with their corresponding logos. The repeating wings reflect eddies and swirls of what was once the Las Vegas Creek which flowed in this area and provided the valley’s first settlers refreshment and water for cultivation. The wings suggest the valley’s surrounding red earth and the indigenous desert flora and fauna. These vibrant way-finding markers entice pedestrians and vehicles to follow the trail to each cultural institution, identified by its unique flourish celebrating its logo, principles, qualities, cultural personality, history and purpose. These flourishes herald Las Vegas’ desire to further develop and celebrate its cultural community and entities. These embellishments provide the grand gesture in the tradition of iconic Las Vegas and are a nod to the prevalence of this design element in many historic neon signs at the Neon Museum. Beginning with the Old Mormon Fort celebrating the endurance and resourcefulness of its early settlers and ending with the Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, this trail is representative of the intersection of human endeavor, expression and survival in relation to the desert environment.. |
