Youth Window Display Workshop

Author: Mercedes Maness

Planning Unit: Community & Economic Development (CEDIK)

Major Program: Community Engagement

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Winchester Design Studio partnered with Clark County Schools to host a Window Design Workshop for youth in the community. Funding for the 2 day workshop was provided by Clark County’s GEER (Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund). Participants learned about the elements of design, the importance of small businesses in a entrepreneurial ecosystem, then took a downtown walking tour and learned from local business owners on Main Street the importance of window displays and how they drive business. Participants utilized the windows at the design studio to develop and implement their own concepts using easily sourced materials. 9 students participated and 3 local businesses were involved.  The windows were available to be seen by the public throughout the fall.
