Art Auction and Limited-Edition Merchandise available for Giving Season
Las Vegas, NV (Nov. 13, 2024) — Save Red Rock, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the safety, serenity and sustainability of Red Rock Canyon NCA, is partnering with a local painter Shanté Lomprey and photographer Benjamin Robertson to raise funds and awareness. The first in an annual campaign to elevate local artists while promoting conservation, Save Red Rock will select different artists each year to feature.
Lomprey’s original artwork, “Red Rock in Winter,” is a 24×36” acrylic on canvas depicting a stunning, snow-dusted escarpment. Worth more than $5,000, the one-of-a-kind commissioned work will be available on SaveRedRock.com for auction beginning Saturday Nov. 16 (Red Rock Canyon’s Birthday). Bidding will continue through mid-December and conclude just in time for the holiday season.
“Contemporary landscape art is my speciality, and I’m proud and honored to support the fundraising goals of Save Red Rock by doing what I love,” states Lomprey. “I really believe in the importance of supporting public lands for future generations, and am glad we have a protector like Save Red Rock to carry out that mission.”
Just in time for Black Friday, re-creations of “Red Rock In Winter” will also appear in the Save Red Rock online store via limited-edition merchandise. Along with Lomprey’s artwork, the shop will carry a 2025 Calendar featuring the photography from local filmmaker Benjamin C. Robertson.
Purchases go towards helping to protect the beloved canyon during a time when planned non-rural housing and continued drought pose dangerous threats to the natural and visitor experience. As a sanctioned 501(c)(3), contributions are tax deductible and come with a membership offering advocacy and volunteer opportunities.
“Nature and art are perfect companions,” explains President of the Board Heather Fisher. “America’s first and most-visited NCA serves as an inspiration to all of us, and we thought it would be a great way to raise awareness and funds for our cause.”
