In an effort to encourage critical discourse and to facilitate a deeper understanding of the arts, CCAI routinely commissions writers to produce essays in conjunction with exhibitions and projects.
During 2009-2010, art historian and former Chief Curator and Director of the Nevada Museum of Art Marcia Cohn Growdon wrote for "Work Bench Project," a site-specific project by Jim McCormick exhibited at the CCAI Courthouse Gallery. UNR Art History Professor Brett M. Van Hoesen contributed an essay to "Grad Night," an exhibition of BFA and MFA graduates from Sierra Nevada College and the University of Nevada Reno Art Department. CCAI Curator Jon Winet added "Community is a Verb" for "Recycled Seconds," the organization's fall 2009 project focusing on community-based practice, DIY fashion design, sustainability and civic engagement.
Hard copy versions of the essays are available on site for visitors to CCAI's exhibitions.
