The CCAI NEWS Flash!
A. Welcome! - CCAI NEWS Flash!
Dear Flash! subscribers and visitors:
Entering its second month of operations, "CCAI Downtown" our new temporary exhibition space in Carson City's historic downtown at the northeast corner of Curry and Third Streets, is proving to be one CCAI's most dynamic projects to date. On July 7, we host the last day of our opening exhibition featuring works by painter Paul Ford and designers Claire Ponn, Milan del Vecchio and Jake Peterson. [For details, read the press release.]
Then, as part of our focus on avant garde fashion design, on consecutive Saturdays [July 21, 28 and August 4], from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m at CCAI Downtown!, CCAI presents "Radical Fashion Design Studio" three DIY workshops presented by CCAI's own Christina Bruce and artists|designers Kodi Fujii and Claire Ponn. 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!] in July and August on the first Wednesday of the month.
We hope to see you at one or all of these events!
