Boys and Girls Club budding artists featured Friday and Saturday at Brewery Arts Center
Dozens of Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada members will showcase their acting, dance and performance art and painting skills Friday and Saturday in a community performance at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City.
For the second year, the Diving Into the Arts Academy, sponsored by the BAC, has enrolled more than 100 Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada members to its summer arts program classes.
The experience will culminate during the Academy Showcase presentation, Friday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday, at 2 p.m. The program will be held in the BAC Performance Hall, 511 W. King Street in Carson City. Tickets are $5 per person or $20 per family. All proceeds go to support the operations of the program. The community is encouraged to come out and see what Carson City's budding artists and performers have been up to this summer.
The success of the program "really supports our mission as an arts council to not only present art, but to also help support our community and expand these programs," said Tami Casillo Shelton, director of programs for the Brewery Arts Center. "These are our future artists, patrons and audience members."
With generous contributions made by the Naumann Foundation and Dermody Properties, the BAC was able to provide scholarships for the Boys and Girls Club members, all participating in the arts program free of charge.
"We are so grateful for our partnership because these kids would otherwise have never gotten to experience the things they did this summer," said Bridget Gordon, teen director for the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada.
