BUILD: Roy Montibon | Current Projects  As Chair of the Steering Committee for New Mexico Arts & Cultural District | Las Vegas, Roy is currently leading the implementation of 20+ major projects with a group of more than 50 team leaders and volunteers. Several of these projects are educational in nature, and involve the three local colleges. Many of the initiatives are designed to identify talent, facilitate cooperation across organizations, and enhance downtown revitalization. Roy and Julie are in the midst of renovating a red brick church (built in 1918) into live/work art space called Sanctuary Studios. They are also renovating a historic stone building (circa 1890) -- the current home of the Citizen's Committee for Historic Preservation -- into two galleries. Half of the building will be leased to an existing gallery, which is expanding. The other half will house a new gallery and design showroom, Royal Mastadon Society. Roy is also working with a very select group of artists, photographers and designers to launch a multi-faceted, global marketplace for fine art, photography and graphic design online. All of the work featured will be exclusive to the new venture. This new marketplace is sub-divided into discreet, uniquely branded segments, each segment targeted toward either underground or mainstream audiences. On the educational front, Roy is currently rotating through three different courses he is teaching through UCLA Extension Online. His book is still in process.
