Nevada Neighbors Series
Launched in 2003, CCAI’s Nevada Neighbors program presents public talks by artists, curators, scholars, and journalists. From 2003 – 2019, the in-person presentations took place at the city’s Community Development Building or at the Carson City Library. Beginning in 2020, CCAI recorded all talks digitally and uploaded them to our YouTube channel giving viewers and students ongoing access to the presentations: www.youtube.com/channel/UC3aEKTO5a2nwZPWNWJXNd-A/videos. Nevada Humanities generously supports the series.
Nevada Neighbors is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Nevada artist, Fern Lowry Elges, Winnemucca, Nevada [May 18, 1901 – February 27, 2003]
