Creative inspiration for the students comes from their teachers: Kara Ferrin, Mike Malley, and John Martin at Carson High, Malaynia Wick at Dayton High, Paul Lorion at Pioneer High, and Rita Borselli, KC Brennan, Zoe Shorten, and Kelley Yost at Douglas High.
Sharon Rosse, CCAI Executive Director, said “CCAI is proud of the professional level of the students’ work and of their teachers who encourage and nurture their students’ imaginations and skill levels. Innovative people with confident imaginations are a cornerstone of America’s workforce. CCAI truly appreciates all the students and teachers’ participation.”
We are delighted to announce that the Carson City Arts & Culture Coalition (CCACC, also known as "the Coalition") is providing a $500 college scholarship to a high school artist/a graduating senior who is going to college. CCACC will select the winner from the work submitted for the show and will be announced at the reception about 5:45pm.
This show is the eighth show in CCAI’s ongoing series of student exhibitions in the Brick.
