Thursday, Jan. 22: Things to do in Carson City
Carson City has some great lectures going on today. Sierra Nevada Forums is presenting ‘Lions and Tracking and Bears, OH MY’ about the incredible animals in our foothills. ‘A Short History of Virginia City’ is to be found at the Nevada State Museum, followed by a book signing by Authors Ron and Susan James.
It’s always a good day for art, and luckily Carson City has a plethora. The Nevada Artists Association has a Gallery at the Brewery Arts Center; Capital City Arts Initiative has a great show, Silk and Sinew, finishing up today at the Courthouse on the second floor; the Legislature building will be featuring art during the upcoming session; and the Nevada Arts Council at 716 N. Carson St. is home to a rotating gallery, as well. Downtown, the Artsy Farty Art Gallery on W. Telegraph and Great Basin Art Gallery on S. Curry have great pieces to look at or take home. Go see something beautiful.
Another reminder that Saliman Street is worth avoiding if possible. Road construction is still going on. For more information go here.
A quick happy birthday to Sir Francis Bacon, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Linda Blair, and Guy Fiere.
