Brewery Arts Center the topic at Monday's Democratic luncheon
The featured speakers at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be Mike Wiencek, Brewery Arts Center Director of Operations. "Mikey" has worked at the Brewery Arts Center since 2015, initially as a volunteer, and has played a key role in helping the BAC grow into the community arts hub that it is today. A proud Marine Corps veteran, he has been involved in broadcast media and the arts for more than 25 years.
The Brewery Arts Center has been serving Carson City since 1976, after a group of local artists recognized that the community needed a dedicated space to showcase their diverse talents and bringing all of the arts under one roof. After an intensive period of fundraising and grant writing, the former Carson Brewing Company building was purchased and refurbished, and the Brewery Arts Center opened its doors on July 4, 1976 as part of America's bicentennial celebrations. Today the BAC is thriving as never before under the creative direction of Executive Director Gina Lopez and Director of Operations Mikey Wiencek.
Events on tap for the coming months include the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the most popular and sought after big band in the world, and acclaimed Nashville musician Mark Collie, whose songs have been recorded by some of country music's most iconic recording artists, including George Jones, Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tim McGraw. Members can purchase discounted tickets to these top-tier events, and memberships are now fee-free for those who subscribe to the BAC's Eblast or social media pages.
The Bryce Chisholm mural on the side of the BAC depicts seeds of art being blown through the community, sustaining the vibrant arts culture that makes Carson City such a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, November 14th, and can be attended either in person at Black Bear Diner, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom. The presentation will begin after all the lunch orders have been taken, around 1:30. Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon Zoom links should contact Rich Dunn at richdunn@aol.com.
