The 2025 Showgirl Art Presentation is at the Las Vegas Academy Of the Arts April 24.
The deadline to submit Artwork to the Showgirl Art Competition will be July 1, 2025.
The winning artists artwork will be on display at Blick Art Materials and other locations will be determined at a later date.
Last year’s presentation gave the students the unique opportunity to work with classic, authentic showgirls, in costumes courtesy of Karen Burns Hello Hollywood Hello costume collection, and Gillian Gardner with Showoff Costumes, that she designed for Katy Perry’s debut as a showgirl on America’s Got Talent. This year’s costumes are still to be determined.
