1. Wednesday, November 9 at 7 pm - Nevada Neighbors XII: What Up? - Artistic & Curatorial Practice in Northern Nevada [a field report]"
This special edition of Neighbors XII, our ongoing series of presentations on art in the west, will feature an illustrated presentation by Sara Gray University of Nevada Reno Art Department Galleries Director and Arts Writer Kris Vagner whose articles enliven the pages of the Reno News & Review and the local art scene. A lively group discussion is anticipated as artists contribute their views of northern Nevada's arts culture.
This special event is presented in conjunction with CCAI Courthouse Gallery Exhibition What Up?

Our November exhibition, "The Infinite Image Collection," features photographs of Lake Tahoe, the Carson Valley and beyond. Artist Jason Woodcock started this series in 2001 to share nature’s beauty with others in his community, “It is my belief that by doing so I can help preserve the natural landscape for future generations.”
