Residents and visitors were treated Thursday evening in Telegraph Square to local artist displays and demonstrations, live music, and a food truck from the Westside Pour House during Community Art Night, an event hosted by Charlie B. and Artsy Fartsy galleries.

Sculptures, pottery, metal art, photography, and canvas paintings drew interest from dozens who ventured downtown between 5 and 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Outside of the Nevada Day Store on Telegraph Street, Nevada Day event organizers took the occasion to offer early sign-ups for parade volunteers and float entries for this year’s Nevada Day Parade.

Janet Baker of the Nevada Day Store said the purpose tonight was to begin generating interest in the state’s largest celebration, which is a little more than 90 days away.

“Our goal was to get people thinking about it now,” she said.
