CCAI Holiday Party Saturday, December 1

You're Invited!

CCAI will host its first ever holiday party this Saturday, December 1 from one to five at CCAI Downtown!, our temporary exhibition|project space at the corner of 3rd and Curry Streets in Carson City's historic downtown.

From the new edition of the Flash: "The party will feature door prizes, rockin' music [courtesy of our in-house iPod DJ Christina Bruce!], treats, and surprises. It will also provide a great opportunity to purchase artworks by participating local Carson 5 artists Carol Brown, Michael Gilbert, Nanette Oleson, Ralph Phillips and James Simpson, books from Box Sled Publishing and Radical Fashion Designer Kodi Fuji. What better way to support local artists and CCAI? [a portion of the proceeds will go to support CCAI's programs.]

Free and open to the public. We hope to see you all there!
