Putting Las Vegas’ new performing arts center in the limelight.Scheduled to open in 2012 near downtown Las Vegas, The Smith Center will be a world-class performing arts center that will put Southern Nevada on an international stage. eurie creative is honored to play a role in the launch communications. Recently, we created a beautiful, oversized fundraising brochure that tells the story of The Smith Center. We also designed a stylish invitation to its “Topping Out” ceremony, which took place on February 25th in Symphony Park. At the event, the final piece of Reynolds Hall was raised, taking it to its highest point of 170 feet. To learn more about The Smith Center, visit TheSmithCenter.com.

Keeping guests up to speed with events, entertainment and more. How shall we describe The Style File? It’s new, it’s now, it’s stylish and sassy. It’s The Venetian’s and The Palazzo’s in-room, bi-weekly publication to help guests take advantage of amenities, activities, events, entertainment, and much more. Our design serves up these appetizing tidbits of information with a tasteful updated layout.

It’s e Bunny time again. Here in the Las Vegas Valley, thousands of children experience a degree of poverty that most of us would find alarming. They live in temporary housing, in shelters, and in the streets. e Bunny is an organization that makes it convenient for you to make a difference for these kids. If you buy an Easter Basket (typically $7-$15 at a major retailer like Walmart, Target or K-Mart), they’ll make sure it gets delivered to a kid who lives in poverty. Last year, E Bunny delivered 2,750 baskets. This year, eurie creative is accepting baskets on behalf of E Bunny. Get your basket to us, we’ll get it to E Bunny, they’ll give it to a kid in need, and you’ll feel great. To coordinate your drop off or to learn more, contact us at [email protected].

Back in the good old days of advertising, New York and Chicago were the only two cities that mattered. Men wore Aqua Velva. Women wore pointy bras. Every agency had bullpens and paste-up artists. Every employee smoked on the job. And three martini lunches were considered a viable account retention strategy.

Cultural Corridor Coalition Countdown to the Vegas Valley Book Festival

The Cultural Corridor Coalition is a downtown nonprofit organization composed of seven member cultural institutions as well as local arts and culture professionals, neighborhood business owners and residents interested in promoting the six block neighborhood along Las Vegas Boulevard between Bonanza Road and Washington Avenue.

As an associate member of the CCC, eurie creative is proud to feature the cultural institutions as they plan their participation in the Vegas Valley Book Festival to be held in November 3-7, 2010. As the largest annual literature event in Las Vegas, the festival is founded on the simple premise of

It’s all about image

What is POSE? It’s a special event where designers can click with photographers. Creative people can click with business people. And everyone can click with the very best in champagne from Tobin James Cellars, the distinguished sponsor. Are you ready for POSE?

In hosting this event, eurie creative is teaming up with the inimitable Eric Jamison and Hunter May of Studio J. For a sneak peak at Studio J’s work, visit studiojinc.com. When you attend, you’ll get to pose in a fun photo booth setup.

Also, Studio J’s photographers and eurie creative art directors have been stretching their creative boundaries to create an exclusive exhibit for this event called “Provocative Poses.” We can assure you that you’ve never, ever beheld anything quite like it.

It’s a visual world, baby. If you can click with the camera, you can click with the world. Is your ensemble assembled? Is your hair prepared? Are you ready to pose?

Oh, to belong to ACE Club! It’s the most exclusive privilege bestowed to patrons of Ameristar Casinos, and very few people are invited to join. As a member of this exclusive club, you receive the coveted Star Awards ACE card, entitling you to a world of perks that most Hollywood A-listers would envy. Our challenge was to design a mailing piece to notify the new ACE Club member such that the magnitude of receiving this honor is unmistakable. The resulting design is deceptively simple and elegant. It required countless hours and engineering and prototyping to complete the finished product.

Judges’ Comments Breath-takingly beautiful – and who can argue with those results? Can you say, “gold Quill”? A brochure worthy of a world-class performing arts center. the brochure has a wonderful balance of scale, proportion, energy and elegance, just like the anticipated building.

World-Class Performing Arts

From its very beginning, The Smith Center was envisioned as a world-class performing arts center that would develop and present the best and brightest in a broad range of first-rate programming and unite the residents of our community.

The ambition to create one of the nation’s leading performing art centers led The Smith Center’s design

team to visit venues across North America and Europe in 2007, where they studied some of the world’s

finest opera houses, concert halls and performance venues. After they toured venues including Palais

Garnier in Paris, the Musikverein in Vienna and La Scala in Milan, they came together to design The

Smith Center. And like all great venues, The Smith Center’s design marries classic style and elegance

with refined acoustics and sophisticated technology.

This cultural complex will enable Southern Nevada

to take its place on the international stage, celebrating

artistic excellence, education and cultures from

around the world.

The Smith Center will be compliant with the Americans

with Disabilities Act. We welcome all patrons and will

offer a variety of services to meet special needs.

In addition to giving our children the math and science skills they need to compete in the new global context, we should also encourage the ability to think creatively. A meaningful arts education encourages creativity and ingenuity. That’s why arts education is at the core of The Smith Center.

education

ouR ENRICHING CAMPuS WILL GIVE SCHooL CHILDREN across the valley access to the same

cultural opportunities enjoyed by students in other cities around the country.

Exposure to the arts has been proven to enhance children’s mental and cognitive abilities, increase

cultural understanding, improve performance across all curriculum areas and develop social skills.

The Smith Center has joined with the Clark County School District

and the Cultural Division of Clark County to participate in the John F.

Kennedy Partners in Education Program. This partnership features

national and international artists who conduct workshops for teachers

and students, connecting the arts to all areas of the curriculum.

In the fall of 2009, The Smith Center became one of 16 regional

programs in the country in cooperation with the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts

in Virginia. This internationally recognized program enhances preschool education by training

teachers how to incorporate creative music, theater and dance into their curricula.

Dreams Begin with Rich Experiences

For those who have been exposed to the arts early in life, the memories

of performances, sights and sounds remain vivid for a lifetime. upon

opening in 2012, The Smith Center will offer a dazzling spectrum of

incredible performances that showcase artists from around the world.

The Arts Help Tomorrow’s Leaders

The arts help our children to develop crucial skills: critical reasoning, creativity, judgment, self-

direction, communication, collaboration, self-expression, multi-tasking, global awareness, problem

solving, decision making, and the application of new ideas.

“It’s thrilling to see school buses full of children who are dressed in their best clothes and excited to see a performance.” Candy schneider, Director of education and outreach of the smith Center

“I remember getting goose bumps in the fourth grade at a performance, and I want our kids to be similarly inspired.”

Free 15-Minute CPR Training Highlights Save A Life Week, Nov. 13 - 20 Goal Is To Expose At Least 3,000 People To Hands-Only CPR

Las Vegas Fire & Rescue is teaming up with University Medical Center (UMC) and the YMCA of Southern

Nevada, to offer chest compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) awareness training during Save A Life Week, Nov. 13-20, at locations citywide. The free training takes 15 minutes and is open to all ages.

Citizen CPR Foundation selected the city of Las Vegas to receive 500 CPR mannequins, which are making training stops throughout the country before arriving in San Diego for the National Emergency Cardiac Care meeting in December.

“In Las Vegas, bystander CPR is only performed 30 percent of the time,” said Mike Myers, deputy fire chief for the city of Las Vegas. “It’s our goal to expose at least 3,000 individuals to hands-only CPR, which will boost confidence levels and help improve survival rates. Just 15 minutes of training could save a life.”

CPR is one of the most important links in the American Heart Association’s Chain of Survival that includes early 911, early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care. Victims who receive bystander CPR prior to emergency medical services arrival have an almost 300 percent increased chance of survival. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the life-saving procedure.

“UMC is very proud to take part in this community event,” said UMC CEO Kathy Silver. “What people are

learning at the Save a Life events can truly keep someone alive until emergency personnel arrive on scene to transport the patient to the hospital for further care.”

Mike Lubbe, YMCA president and CEO, added that the YMCA is proud to partner with the city of Las Vegas and UMC for this important campaign.

"At the Y, we help people achieve better health outcomes and encourage everyone to get involved to make our community a better place,” Lubbe said. “Taking 15 minutes to get familiar with CPR skills is a simple, yet powerful way to do just that."

Judges’ Comments thinking outside of the box for the target audience. Being great ambassadors for Las Vegas. A culturally insightful solution and rare event opportunity.

Only fOur u.S. citieS Are pArticipAting in thiS epic culturAl event. lAS vegAS iS One Of them.

Thirty Chinese graphic design ambassadors. One amazing evening. We’re very pleased to present a unique cross- cultural event for the Las Vegas community – the Chinese Creative Cultural Exchange.

The very idea of this event is unprecedented. Thirty Chinese designers display their internationally curated work in this compelling exhibition.

The setting – a true cultural exchange where we’ll get a glimpse into the graphic design sensibilities of the vast and fast-developing Chinese market while we share the flavor of Fabulous Las Vegas with our visitors.

The work you see this evening is by department heads of top design and fine art schools, creative directors and owners of prestigious design studios and ad agencies that serve key growth industries in China. The business community is represented by the National Packaging Professionals Group and Shezhen Chamber of Commerce.

This exhibit is also an informal intellectual exchange and social event with the local business, design and cultural community.

Las Vegas is distinguished to be one of only four U.S. cities on the 11-day tour that also includes Washington, D.C., San Francisco and San Diego.

Presented by the XCD Center for Cross Cultural Design (an international initiative), the Chinese Association Las Vegas, and the Las Vegas-Clark County Library Foundation.

From Tests to Treatments, Southern Nevada Oncologist

Helped PROVENGE Reach FDA Approval

Autologous cellular immunotherapy treatment for prostate cancer

is first in a new class of cancer therapies

LAS VEGAS—Internationally renown researcher and Medical Oncologist with Comprehensive

Cancer Centers of Nevada, Nicholas Vogelzang completed a journey only a handful of his peers

can claim. He participated in the early testing phases of a novel treatment, continued his work up

to and during the authorization process and then began using the approved therapy for his

patients.

He is also credited for administering PROVENGE® (sipuleucel-T) to the first Nevada patient.

When Dendreon Corporation announced on May 1, 2010, that the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) had approved PROVENGE, which uses a patient’s white blood cells to

fight an advanced form of prostate cancer, Dr. Vogelzang witnessed more than a decade’s worth

of his work come to fruition. Within moments of the announcement, he quickly secured approval

to treat his prostate cancer patients with the new therapy.

“We worked hard to get a clinical trial like this in Nevada and I am excited that patients in Las

Vegas now have access to this treatment,” said Dr. Vogelzang. “In the not too distant future, it is

very possible that prostate cancer patients will get the therapy when they are not so ill and have a

better chance of long term survival.”

PROVENGE is designed to create an immune response against prostatic acid phosphatase, which

is found in most prostate cancers, by mixing a person’s white blood cells with a bioengineered

molecule.

Once approved to receive PROVENGE, a prostate cancer patient is required to donate his white

Natural gas has a smaller carbon footprint and fewer greenhouse gases when compared to coal, oil, propane, or electricity. It’s greener than you think.

It’s nationally abundant More than 98.5% of the natural gas used in the U.S. is produced in North America. With current natural gas supplies expected to last 100-plus years, using natural gas to fuel our energy needs will help reduce our reliance on foreign imports, and increase our nation’s energy security.

It’s the greener fossil fuel Natural gas has a high energy density that allows it to work harder and more efficiently with less waste. As a result, it has a smaller carbon footprint and fewer greenhouse gases when compared to coal, oil, propane or electricity. Converting your home heating and water heating systems to natural gas can reduce your home’s carbon footprint by 81%, which is the equivalent of planting 2.75 acres of trees, or driving 26,520 fewer miles each year.

For more information on natural gas appliances, special offers, and more, go to www.swgas.com, or call our Energy Specialists at 1-800-654-2765.

Natural Gas is Greener Than You Think
