Each recipient will receive a limited edition cap embroidered with the initials “CAP” at a luncheon hosted at Carson City's classic American diner, The Cracker Box, on Friday February 9th at 1:30pm.
Proceeds from the ticketed event will support “CAP,” CCAI’s art in public program. The Cracker Box is located at 402 E. William Street, Carson City.

He comments: “The impact that CCAI has had on the culture of Carson City has been outstanding. CCAI has developed multiple relationships within community of Carson, building a stronger appreciation for the arts that is vital to the development of Carson City.”

The spirit of CCAI encourages me and our community, and I am deeply committed to our successful collaboration.”
