Carson High student art exhibit at ‘the Brick’

The Capital City Arts Initiative announces its exhibition, “Photo Finished,” at the Community Development Building (the Brick), 108 E. Proctor St., Carson City.

Ten artists from Carson High School have work in the exhibit. CCAI will host a reception for the artists from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

The free exhibition is available to the public 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Mondays through Friday Jan. 14 to March 31.

The artists are all students in photography instructor Kara Ferrin’s Advanced Photo class.

“The work is the students’ ‘capstone project,’ a culmination of all four years of photographic work and knowledge focused into their own artistic interpretations with very few limitations set by her,” Ferrin said.

The Carson High students include Gilberto Avina, Kaelah Bowman, Kyla Cox, Jazlyn Duran, Haley Garver, Ben Granados, Destiny McGilvray, Gabe Morton, Amberlee Rangel and Sarah Woods.

Sharon Rosse, CCAI executive director, said, “CCAI is delighted to present this exhibition and grateful of the opportunity to work with Carson High faculty and students. We are proud of the professional level of the students’ work and of their teacher who encouraged and nurtured their imaginations and skill levels.”

This show is another in CCAI’s ongoing series of student exhibitions in the Brick.
