A candidates forum, hosted by the Carson City Arts and Culture Coalition, will be held tonight from 7 to 9 p.m., in the Sierra Room of the Carson City Community Center. Carson Now will have live coverage.
The forum is free and open to the public.
Candidates for Carson City’s Board of Supervisors, Wards 1 and 3, will discuss their positions on matters affecting arts and culture in a forum moderated by Peter Barton, administrator of the Nevada Division of Museums and History. They will answer questions about support for theater and libraries and discuss how the arts can develop tourism and help the city economy.
Candidates are Karen Abowd, Rob Joiner, Sean Lehmann, Paul Saucedo, Gary Schulz, Norman Scoggin, John McKenna, Mark Sattler, and Day Williams.
“We want to pack the house with arts supporters,” said Stephanie Arrigotti, professor of music at Western Nevada College and director of the Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company. “It is important that candidates understand how many people care about the arts in our community.”
