Rita Asfour: Art Her Way
Explore the life of Rita Asfour, a Las Vegas-based visual artist. Rita came out of retirement to paint the city's showgirls after seeing their bedazzling performance at Bally's Jubilee show. Dr. Robert Tracy, of the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), recognized the depth and diversity of her art and curated a show for her. This program takes us into her home where she still creates art today.
