The Flash!
A. Welcome!
Following a busy September, we invite you to FWAC!, to visit to our first CAP project, and to save November 1 for our next Nevada Neighbors event. See details below!
1. FWAC! at Westside Ink for coffee & conversation - October 4, 4:30-6:00.
One and all are invited to FWAC! [First Wednesdays Artists Coffee] at Westside Ink located at just south of Washington Street in Carson City's historic downtown area. [click here for a map]
Along with lively discussion, the informal 'show 'n' tell' in which artists bring a few of their recent works to discuss continues as a new FWAC! tradition. Please feel free to share something from your portfolio.
This month CCAI Staff Sharon and Sara will have news of an exciting new consortium of area artists organizations. Come by to hear a first hand report.
And don't forget to check out Westside Ink's fabulous pies and inspiring books.
We hope to see you at our 'no host,' informal monthly gathering of Carson's arts scene. And if you can't make this one, you can join us the first Wednesday of every month.
2. CAP project by artist Erik Burke in the news.
On September 20, we were delighted to launch "CAP" ["Capital City Arts Initiative Art In Public Program] with a terrific, community project by artist Erik Burke. In a burst of creative activity during the month, Erik, working with fellow artist Yale Wolf produced a wall work in record time. Over one hundred people attended the dedication of this first commissioned CAP project, a lively event featuring music, a commemorative tee shirt and plenty of spirit.
The project is located in the alley between 1801 and. We [click here for a map. We hope you'll have a chance to visit this new landmark in the area's cultural landscape.
