A. Welcome to
the December edition of the CCAI News Flash! 2004, CCAI's first full
year has been a great one-and we deeply appreciate everyone's interest
and support. We hope to see you at a CCAI event real soon!
1. CCAI
Ginger Bruner Artist Residency In Full Swing!
CCAI
is delighted to welcome its second artist in residence, Las Vegas multimedia
artist Ginger Bruner. Ginger, a native of the "Radiant City" is
an accomplished musician, radio producer, sound engineer and photographer.
We're delighted to host this rare forray north of this dynamic Las Vegas
artist.
Ginger came up for a scouting trip in November,
visiting Carson City, Douglas County and the Comstock, sampling the sites
and sounds
of
the area
with digital camera and sound recording devices in hand. In the weeks to
come, Ginger will be producing art based on her CCAI experience, as well
as working with 'locals' on a range of projects to
include
a number
of
public
events.
See

first one in December. And as they say on the radio: stay tuned for
details!
