Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - In remembrance of the fourth anniversary of 1 October, Clark County will host a 1 October Anniversary Exhibit through Thursday, October 7th in the Rotunda Gallery, located on the first floor of the Clark County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway.
The Government Center is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Rotunda will be open to the public on Friday until noon following the 7am Sunrise Remembrance ceremony in the Government Center’s outdoor amphitheater.
The 1 October Anniversary Exhibit in the Rotunda, organized by Clark County’s Parks and Recreation Department, features a display of quilts donated to the Resiliency Center for this year’s quilt raffle for 1 October survivors and family members who lost loved ones. A listing of activities and events being held this year to honor victims and survivors of the 1 October attack is posted on the Resiliency Center calendar at www.vegasstrongrc.org/remembrance.
The Rotunda exhibit also includes a display to inform the public of the ongoing work of Clark County’s 1 October Memorial Committee, which was established by the Clark County Commission to gather input to build a permanent memorial that remembers those who perished in the attack, honors survivors, first responders and all those affected by the incident, and celebrates the resiliency of our community.
The Art of Healing Murals created by local artists to commemorate the first anniversary of 1 October also is on display in addition to the Angels of Love exhibit, which contains glass angels in remembrance of the lives lost and the hundreds of people wounded as well as memorabilia to honor law enforcement and agencies that responded to the attack.
