Studio 21 Tattoo is turning old vinyl records into art for a good cause next Saturday, hosting its annual Vino & Vinyl Art Show from 6 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 14. Every dollar raised through the night's digital silent auction will go to HELP of Southern Nevada, a local nonprofit that connects Southern Nevadans with housing, training and other support services.
According to vegas24seven.com, the event invites artists from across the country to transform blank vinyl records into one-of-a-kind painted and designed pieces, which are then sold through an online auction with bidding starting at $50. Because all the bidding happens digitally, the outlet notes that collectors and art fans do not need to be in Las Vegas to take part — anyone can bid from wherever they are. The event itself takes place at Studio 21 Tattoo, located at 6020 W. Flamingo Road, Suite B-2, as FOX5 Las Vegas reports.
What's Happening In the Studio Lobby
For those who show up in person, the night includes more than just browsing finished vinyl artwork. The studio's lobby will host a vinyl DJ set, and guests can grab drinks from a bar cart while entering raffles and taking part in other activities throughout the evening, per the same vegas24seven.com report. The focus, though, remains on the finished record art and the money it generates for the cause.
The entirety of the proceeds is earmarked for one organization this year. One hundred percent of the event's take will benefit HELP of Southern Nevada's programs and services, the report states. That's a shift from some of Studio 21 Tattoo's past Vino & Vinyl events — last year's installment, held Nov. 8, 2025, raised money for a different nonprofit, Noah's Animal House, according to a Las Vegas Weekly listing from that event. A Studio 21 Tattoo webpage had described the 2025 beneficiary as still to be announced in the lead-up to that show, and the studio has said a previous iteration of the event raised more than $4,000 for Hope for the City, per the studio's own event page.
Who HELP of Southern Nevada Serves
This year's beneficiary, HELP of Southern Nevada, describes its mission as assisting families and individuals throughout the region to overcome barriers to self-sufficiency through direct services, job training and referrals to community resources, according to the organization's website. The nonprofit says it is marking 55 years of working in Southern Nevada, connecting residents to the training and referrals they need to become successful and self-sufficient.
The need those services address has grown. Clark County's Point-in-Time Count found 8,859 people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January, a 12% increase since the previous official count, according to the Las Vegas Sun. Of those counted, 5,017 people, or 57%, were unsheltered, while 3,842, or 43%, were staying in emergency shelter or transitional housing, the Sun reported. A separate Clark County recap had described the county's last Point-in-Time Count as having taken place in 2024, a discrepancy that has not been resolved between the two accounts.
Studio 21 Tattoo's Vino & Vinyl Art Show runs from 6 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 14 at the studio's West Flamingo Road location near Rainbow Boulevard. FOX5 Las Vegas recommends checking Studio 21 Tattoo's website for event details and RSVP information ahead of the show.
