One of the largest public art exhibits in Nevada happens this weekend. But that’s not really what’s so unique about the show.  “12 Inches of Sin,” which will be housed in 72,000-square-feet of downtown’s New

Orleans Square at Commerciial Center, 953 E. Sahara Avenue.  In addition, this year’s show features bands, DJ’s, lectures and how-to demonstrations. One lecture is about “kink etiquette.”

Event organizer, Laura Henkel, joined State of Nevada to talk about the show.  Henkel says the show has grown so much over six years that artists this year will come from not only Nevada, but from several countries around the world. “This is art, not porn,” says Henkel. > Listen to State of Nevada, KNPR

Six times larger than in years past, the 72,000-square-foot, two-story retail space will be transformed into an immersive playground for the adventurous at New Orleans Square at the Commercial Center. 12 Inches of Sin was previously held inside The Arts Factory, and the new location offers room for a dizzying array of art, entertainment and educational workshops. Organizer, sexologist and Sin City Gallery owner Dr. Laura Henkel has designed the festival to be art-centric, with more than 100 artists from multiple countries set to participate. > Read More
