History:
On September 17, we launched CCAI's public programs with
Traditions / Technologies: New Mexico Art,
a 'Neighbors' talk by Laura Addison,
Curator of Contemporary Art Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

"Nevada Neighbors IV: Meanwhile Back At The Ranch —
Contemporary Practice in Northern Nevada," an artist gathering

Artist; Professor Robert Morrison, University of Nevada,

Upcoming!: In February, we resume the lecture series at the Carson City Library with LA curator Julie Deamer on February 4 and Portland curator Stuart Horodner on March 3. Both lectures are at 7 pm and are free and open to the public. Click below for details.
We have other exciting new programs planned for spring 2004, including
