From Vinyl to Visuals, It’s All Local Love
Where music sets the mood, local art sets the scene, and the food and cocktails seal the vibe.
At ECHO, the music doesn’t just fill the air—it’s curated, intentional, and immersive. And now, the same can be said for the art on the walls and throughout the lounge.
ECHO is spotlighting the visual artists who help shape the soul of the space. From day one, founder Chef Natalie Young envisioned art as a core part of the lounge’s identity—a natural extension of its immersive sound, curated cocktails, and culinary experience. The current collection isn’t just décor—it’s a living, breathing part of the ECHO experience, curated with the same thoughtfulness that defines every element of the venue.
Where Music & Las Vegas Artists Mingle
Meet the artists whose work add to the soulful esthetic inside Echo:
🎨 Luis Varela-Rico
A metalworker with deep roots in Guadalajara, Luis is known throughout Las Vegas for his monumental public installations. For ECHO, Luis scaled his work to an intimate level—creating one-of-a-kind planters and vessels that blur the line between hard metal and organic softness. His patina-stained sculptures cradle bursts of greenery, reflecting both strength and life. A striking crane sculpture near the DJ booth nods to the lounge’s homage to Japan’s listening bar heritage.
🎨 Nico Roussin
French-born and Vegas-based, Nico brings a minimalist aesthetic with maximum impact. His signature black textures and large-scale mural work are instantly recognizable across town. At ECHO, he’s responsible for the sunflower mural—a deeply personal tribute by Chef Natalie Young to her mother—as well as the bold, abstract back wall behind the bar. His studio works, displayed throughout the space, offer visual rhythm and resonance that echo the sounds in the room.
🎨 Amber Cariker
A multidisciplinary artist and designer from Joshua Tree, Amber’s aesthetic is pure mid-century modern. Her handcrafted wooden frames and earthy tones make her a natural fit for ECHO’s warm, soulful interior. Her standout contribution is a stunning triptych that blends vintage sensibility with timeless elegance. Like ECHO itself, her work feels intentionally crafted to be felt as much as seen.
A Curated Experience, Not a Gallery Wall
At ECHO, the visual elements aren’t an afterthought—they’re baked into the concept. Chef Natalie Young and her partner Tom McAllister have long shared a passion for supporting the arts and creating spaces where community and culture can thrive. Chef, who has called Las Vegas home for 25 years, has been a champion of the Arts District renaissance, believing in the power of food, music, and art to bring people together.
Each piece is woven into the DNA of the lounge, offering moments of reflection, connection, and inspiration between bites and beats.
Supporting Local Artisans, Always
At its core, ECHO is about community. Every detail reflects a commitment to celebrating Las Vegas’ vibrant creative scene through music, cuisine, and visual storytelling. By spotlighting local and regional artists, ECHO continues to foster a space where creativity is not only seen and heard but felt.
The art on the walls is not just curated; it’s deeply intentional, reflecting the same care and creativity as what’s coming from the kitchen and the speakers.
Whether you’re vibing to vinyl or sipping a handcrafted cocktail, the next time you’re at ECHO, take a moment to look around. The art is speaking—are you listening?
