has been a central figure in the development of the Las Vegas arts community. Brett Wesley Gallery and Artifice Lounge Starting with a 2007 Downtown Las Vegas land purchase, Brett Sperry built and designed the award-winning Brett Wesley Gallery, becoming host to a succession of notable art installations, exhibits, and international artists. In 2016, Brett Wesley Gallery was named the "Best of the City". Sperry then acquired additional parcels nearby, and with development partner Trinity Schlotmann created the Artifice Lounge, a multi-use "art-inspired" bar and lounge that Sperry designed from what was formerly an empty 1950's warehouse. Art Square Sperry made a sizable economic and architectural investment in the creation of adjacent Art Square, a 20,000 square-foot site with retail and professional spaces, desert gardens, a performance arts theatre, and a restaurant, all of which---apart from the restaurant---Sperry conceived and designed. The Art Square complex was sold to Las Vegas Arts District Development in 2015. The Modern Contemporary and Luminous Park In 2009, Sperry became the spearhead and Chairman of a proposed $29-million international-class Las Vegas-based arts museum called "The Modern Contemporary". The museum and its grounds are part of a conceptual entity known as "Luminous Park". Sperry's tenure as Chairman was contractually completed in 2014. Since then he has been an active member of the board of directors.
