Recycled Propaganda: Making Room for Other Artists in Downtown Las Vegas

When Izaac Zevalking moved from the United Kingdom to Las Vegas in 2012, he began making art under the name Recycled Propaganda. Six years later, he opened a downtown gallery. The space would become more than a room for his own work.

In his completed 702 Alliance interview, Zevalking described a city whose international visibility coexists with close local relationships. Las Vegas brings people from across the world, but to him it also feels like a small town where people know one another and community matters.

Opening the walls to other artists

The gallery opened in 2018. Zevalking said there were not many galleries representing artists when he started. After the first few exhibitions, he recognized a need that extended beyond showing his own pieces and began opening the space to other artists.

That change is central to the story he tells about Recycled Propaganda. The gallery became a way to provide representation as well as a place to exhibit his work. A personal artistic project had grown into a space where other people could be seen.

A show that stayed with him

Asked which exhibition or project had been especially memorable, Zevalking pointed to the INDECLINE exhibition the gallery held the previous year. He did not turn the answer into a long account of attendance or acclaim; he simply named the show as the one that stood out.

His description of Las Vegas helps explain the setting for that work: a city with global energy and visitors, but also a network of people building things together locally. Both scales shape how he thinks about the place he has made his home.

New shows and downtown walls

Looking ahead, Zevalking described an exhibition schedule that changes every two months, with local and national artists planned over the coming two years. He also intends to keep making public murals around downtown Las Vegas.

Those plans keep the work moving between the gallery and the street. The indoor program gives artists a place to show; murals bring his own practice into public view. Recycled Propaganda continues to connect the artist who arrived in 2012 with the community he has come to know.
