The CCAI NEWS Flash!
A. Welcome! - CCAI NEWS Flash!
Dear Flash! subscribers and visitors:
The art world cools down in the summer? No evidence of that in Carson City, as "CCAI Downtown" continues to heat up the historic downtown with our "Radical Fashion Design Studio." The project's third Saturday afternoon DIY workshop launches August 4 with lead designer Kodi Fujii. For the remaining Saturdays of the month, Christina Bruce and Claire Ponn will direct the creative action.
The workshops are free and open to the public, although advance registration is recommended. [Read the press release for details.]
FWAC! returns [as always, of course!] on August 1, the first Wednesday of the month.
We hope to see you at one or all of these events!
And for those planning ahead, we include information below on September's CCAI activity.
Details on all upcoming CCAI programs below and on our calendar and web log.
