World-renowned artist Michael Kalish has been commissioned to create a one-of-a-kind visual experience to celebrate the inaugural Fantasy Sports Combine. This event brings together an extraordinary roster of fantasy sports experts, Super Bowl winning coaches, elite professional athletes and sports media personalities for the most dynamic experience ever created in the fantasy sports realm. Wynn Las Vegas and Encore will host the event July 17th-19th, 2015.

Michael Kalish is recognized for inventing an entire genre and brand out of the license plate, as well as creating distinctive iconic sculptures made solely from reclaimed materials. Over the past 20 years, Kalish has been creating large scale interactive public Monuments as well as smaller scale works that hang in Galleries and Museums around the Globe. Kalish's work can also be found in the private collections of world leaders, fortune 100 companies, past Presidents, professional athletes, and musicians, including Muhammad Ali, NASCAR, Perrier-Jouet and The Atlanta Braves.

"When Fantasy Sports Combine came to me I was intrigued by the challenge of translating a digital phenomenon into a tangible sculpture that represents sport, the fans and their passion," said Kalish.

"We wanted something totally unique and awe-inspiring to capture our guests' imaginations which only further enhances what will be a most memorable, high-energy weekend," said Bo Brownstein of Fantasy Sports Combine. "It's time to move away from the glorified autograph show and into the 21st century. People want premium live experiences and we felt that Michael would use his remarkable creative talents to show once again why he is amongst the most distinguished artists of our time."
