"Praire Dance "- A Sculputure Concept by Debra Clemente

Harrah's Proposal Includes
Debra Clemente's Art

APRIL 2008 - KANSAS CASINO PROPOSAL
Harrah's Entertainment of Las Vegas, NV,  invited Kansas artist Debra Clemente to be a part of the casino and resort proposal  they submitted to Sumner County, KS, this past fall. When Harrah's contacted Clemente and expressed their interest in Clemente's colorful and optimistic Kansas paintings they also inquired if Clemente did sculpture work as they would were wanting to incorporate a monumental outdoor sculpture designed by a Kansas Artist into their plans as well.

As Clemente's design background is as strong as her painting skills she accepted the challenge and built a scale model of her proposal, "Prairie Dance". If actualized as per Clemente's design, the iron sculpture would stand 22 feet tall and span a width of 60 feet. Clemente comments, "The inspiration for this piece is the heart of the land I know and love, the Kansas Prairie. As in my paintings I am seeking to create work that is familiar to the viewer yet in intellectualized in a new way. Taking cues from the familiar I am creating a unique visual. The image is new and fresh. I believe that Kansans will get it.  They won't accept or embrace a totally foreign image that they can't relate to. I imagine them saying "What is it wheat? Fire? Wind? Grass? If they can do that then they get it and perhaps as the reencounter the sculpture again and again they will get it more and more."

In the Harrah's official proposal documents delivered to Sumner County and the Kansas Lottery Commission, Clemente has been included on a short list of seven parties that have expressed interest in working with Harrah's should they be awarded the contract. The other names on the list are Anheuser-Busch, Country Music Television, Paula Deen, Toby Keith, Butch Harmon, and Bobby Wood. 

Presently the Kansas Lottery Commission is  negotiating contracts with the four parties that have submitted Sumner County casino proposals. Their original deadline which was at the end of March has been extended by two months. That commission will then to forward on the negotiated contracts to a another party appointed by Governor Sebelius who is to award a casino contract by the end of May to one of the bidding parties.
