C5 presents: The Summer that Changed Cinema | Jaws (1975) | Thursday | July 30th 2026 | FREE
2026-07-30 19:00 - 22:00 | Brewery Arts Center | Outdoor Stage, 449 W KING ST, CARSON CITY, NV, 89703, United States
One movie didn’t just terrify audiences—it rewrote the rules of Hollywood forever. The Summer That Changed Cinema celebrates the birth of the modern blockbuster with a beach-party-meets-movie-night experience you won’t want to miss.
Join us on the lawn at Brewery Arts Center for a special outdoor summer screening, where surf vibes, sunshine, and cinematic history collide. We’ll warm things up with Looney Tunes: Hawaiian Aye Aye (1964)—a breezy, cartoon beach romp that sets a fun, carefree tone before the tide turns. As night falls, grab your blankets and beach chairs for Jaws (1975), Steven Spielberg’s legendary thriller that forever changed suspense, sound design, summer releases, and how audiences experience movies together.
Come dressed for the beach, soak up the summer atmosphere, and experience the film that made moviegoing an event—and made everyone think twice before going back in the water.
This event is free to the public. Party starts at 7! Movie at 8!

Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series | Van Goat | Swing Punk| Saturday | August 1st 2026
2026-08-01 19:00 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center Campus, 449 West King Street, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Punk. Swing. Ragtime. Southern jazz. Surf. Van Goat is a band to which you could apply many labels, but none would quite prepare you for what you’re about to hear.“
“Back in the ’30s and ’40s, swing was a high-energy dance music that people would dance to ’til they passed out. These days, if a band starts up with the clarinets and the ride cymbals, you’ll probably start picturing your great grandpa doing the jitterbug. Oakland’s Van Goat breathes a healthy dose of punk rock into swing by stripping it down, raw and so energetic that you’ll want to upstage your granddaddy on the dance floor.” – Good Times Santa Cruz

Create your own masterpieces in this open-ended art experience. If you’ve ever dreamed of working on an artistic project—whether it’s painting, graphite, pen and ink, or even incorporating two- and three-dimensional textures or objects into your work of art—this is the workshop for you. This is a series of 4 workshops to give you the time and space to create your vision.

Over the course of the past nearly 30 years, Dana Childs has guided, taught, and facilitated courses and workshops that have helped produce professional artists as well as encouraged hobbyists to have the time of their lives and enjoy feeling successful. You can free the artist within you with as much or as little influence from outside as you desire. Weekly demonstrations serve to introduce or review basic art and design concepts, as well as experimental strategies. You can either follow along or continue to work on your own project during the demonstrations. Most of the time will be dedicated to individual time to work on your own projects, while Childs is there to offer assistance as needed.

About the Artist

“Variety is the spice of life!” declares the educationally eclectic Childs. She has been driven by an inexhaustible desire to learn, and then to pass on that which she learns to others. “One of my greatest passions in life is to either keep the flame of our innate love for learning alive, or to reignite this flame in the hearts of those whose flames have dwindled, or been completely dowsed,” says Childs. Whatever the subject matter, she remains enthusiastic about sharing information & helping others build skills that will serve them and others well.
With 20+ years experience teaching watercolor as well as graphite and acrylic mediums, Childs brings an in-depth understanding of how to connect with her students and pass on skills that empower her students to create to their hearts desire, with amazing results. “My job, if I do it well, is to work myself out of a job,” she says.

David McCamant (born 1958) paints his sky and landscape works as illuminated impressions of his subjects. He is intrigued by the relationship of the quality of light and the objects observed. Both a student of light and instructor of composition, David guides his students in the ancient application of Dynamic Symmetry to infuse their work with the powerful dynamics of the natural world. Always pushing himself forward, David is driven to maintain the abstract nature of painting while still communicating the true sense of place and time. “I create wonderful moments in time for people to experience forever.”
Born in Reno, Nevada, McCamant began his personal work during his long successful career as a commercial artist, illustrator, art director, creative director, animator, animation producer, and director. David trained himself in the artistic disciplines for most of his life until meeting his mentor and master painter, Brian Davis. Through him, David studied the techniques of many great American artists including Emile Gruppe, Richard Schmid, and the incomparable David A. Leffel. He mastered the oil medium with great rapidity under Brian’s direction.
Spend the afternoon with David and learn his techniques and tips for painting Nevada’s awe-inspiring clouds & skies.

The Young Dubliners have spent thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands. They have released nine albums to date, appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, and had songs featured in TV shows
such as Sons Of Anarchy and Human Target. Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows.

C5 presents: Truth, Justice, and the Blockbuster Way | Superman: The Movie (1978) | Thursday | August 27th 2026
2026-08-27 19:00 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Before cinematic universes ruled the box office, one hero taught Hollywood how to make audiences believe a man could fly. Truth, Justice, and the Blockbuster Way celebrates the rise of the modern superhero film—and the moment when spectacle, sincerity, and mythmaking collided on the big screen.
We’ll begin with Superman: “The Mad Scientist” (1941), a thrilling Fleischer Studios animated short that set a new standard for superhero animation with its dynamic action, cinematic scale, and groundbreaking visuals. That legacy soars forward with Superman: The Movie (1978), Richard Donner’s landmark feature that redefined the blockbuster by treating its hero with epic grandeur, emotional weight, and unwavering heart.
Take flight an electrifying night honoring the hero who showed audiences—and filmmakers—that comic book stories could be larger than life, deeply human, and worthy of the big screen. Up, up, and away!
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.
