[{"type":"text","content":"Resort Assembles Unique Roster of Artistic Talent to Celebrate the Launch of New Show \nLAS VEGAS, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its commitment to artists and cultivating the arts, Wynn Las Vegas (Nasdaq: WYNN) has developed creative extensions and artistic collaboration for its new show, Awakening. The collaborations include three, large-format wallscape murals, an animated short film from award-winning creative studio Art Camp, and two artistic decks of cards from leading illustrator and comic artist Jen Bartel.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"As Awakening came together, we realized the power of what we were working on and were inspired to extend the artistry beyond the walls of the theater,\" said Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts. \"We commissioned these beautiful pieces of art with no restraints on this talented group of artists because that is what Wynn does best – we let amazing talent create beauty.\"\nAllison Hueman, also known as \"Hueman,\" is one of three artists tapped to recreate the artistic theme of the show with a large-scale wallscape.
