The CCAI NEWS Flash!
A. Welcome! - CCAI NEWS Flash!
February may be the shortest month of the year, but we've none the less managed to program four terrific events: new exhibitions at the CCAI Courthouse Gallery and CCAI Downtown!; the first of what we hope will be healthy Canadian-flavored Nevada Neighbors lectures; and to kick off things off, FWAC! our signature monthly arts coffee. Details below!

V. CCAI CAP Mural [permanent and open 24/7!]
In the alley north of [map]
Erik Burke
From the August 2006 press release: "Local Carson City bicyclist Glenn Lucky is the inspiration for Mr. Burke's mural, not only because the artist is an avid cyclist, but also because of Mr. Lucky’s admirable determination and community engagement. Mr. Lucky has cerebral palsy, but he doesn’t let that stop him. He has ridden about 40 miles a day through heat, cold, rain and snow since he was 15 years old. What initially started as therapy to loosen his muscles has turned into his passion."
