Nevada Neighbors, a signature CCAI program that brings artists, curators, and scholars to northern Nevada for four events annually. A public presentation at the Carson City Library is the major public event of their visit; the Library co-sponsors Nevada Neighbors with CCAI. During a visit, typically three days, the speakers give talks and conduct studio visits at local schools and colleges; participating schools include Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village and Douglas High School in Minden. On occasion, the speakers meet informally with local artists to discuss their work.
