Mission
AC⚡LV is a quarterly print magazine celebrating the diverse creative community that powers Las Vegas. From artists to acrobats, poets to philanthropists, designers to drag queens, we introduce you to the personalities behind the spectacle.
Our mission is to elevate local talent, connect readers to the scene, and help sustain the culture happening now. This is not outside media parachuting into Las Vegas. This is Las Vegas looking at itself clearly — for the first time — in premium print.
AC⚡LV is a dual platform: a collectible quarterly print magazine intentionally placed in the city's cultural spaces, and a privacy-first digital platform. A format meant to be kept. A record of this moment in Las Vegas arts and culture that will matter in ten years.

Launch Event
A beloved anchor of Las Vegas's Downtown Arts District — the ideal setting for the debut of a magazine that exists to document exactly this scene.
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Robin Slonina has dreamed of creating an art magazine for nearly three decades. Her journey began in Chicago, where she wrote for SAIC's F Magazine and contributed to the iconic New Art Examiner, then freelanced as an arts reporter for NPR radio.
As her art career took off, it led her around the world — creating art installations and murals while backpacking through Europe, then driving her van across the USA. When Robin landed in Las Vegas in 2005, she launched Skin City, which quickly became one of the largest body art companies in the country. That momentum led to Skin Wars, the bodypainting competition series she helped create, produce, and judge — alongside RuPaul, Craig Tracy, and Rebecca Romijn.
Through it all, Robin never let go of her dual loves: writing and spotlighting local artists. In Las Vegas, she became a committed advocate for the creative community — joining the Arts District board, serving as Artist Liaison for Meow Wolf, and opening Slonina ARTSpace in August 2023. In just over two years, ARTSpace has exhibited work by 400 local creatives.
Now, as Editor of AC⚡LV, Robin is ready to take this art off the walls and onto the page — bringing Las Vegas talent to an even wider audience.
