“Steeped in tradition but with an urgent, contemporary edge” (The Guardian), singer, songwriter, and blues guitar wizard Buffalo Nichols brings an urgent, modern consciousness to the artform, presenting music from his 2021 self-titled debut and other treasures.
Raised in Milwaukee, the artist born Carl Nichols found solace and inspiration in the guitar at a young age, raiding his family’s record collections for musical truth and splitting his time as a young man between local bars and the church, honing a sound that matured and developed through soul-seeking sojourns to West Africa and Europe.

Road to Terminus: The Art of Candance Garlock | Artist Reception | Saturday | May 23rd 2026 | FREE
2026-05-23 12:00 - 14:00 | Brewery Arts Center | East Building | Exhibition Hall, 449 W King St, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Exhibition Dates – May 10th thru June 28th 2026
“My Road to Terminus Collection embodies the endless journey of arrivals and departures—an ongoing loop of radical acceptance that shapes my life and work. Inspired initially by the idea of terminus as a railroad’s last stop, and further colored by pop culture references such as “The Walking Dead,” I explore notions of sanctuary, survival, and the search for community in an apocalyptic world. Through paintings, prints, and sculptures, I equate terminus to the end of days, revealing that the journey is never truly finished. This sense of perpetual motion infuses my exploration of interconnectedness among people, places, and bodies. I draw on my Nevada upbringing for visual language—vibrant colors, layered patterns, and symbolic references that mark both home and emotional landscape.
Living with multiple sclerosis has further deepened my understanding of acceptance and transformation. The Road to Terminus is not only a concept in my work but a reflection of my personal journey through vulnerability, pain, and hope. Each piece examines desire, stereotypes, and identity, engaging viewers in a dialogue about belonging and the beauty found within our shared struggles and triumphs. Ultimately, my art seeks to inspire connection and radical acceptance, inviting others to find the sanctuary and relationships they most desire—even when the path is treacherous.”

C5 presents: Journey to the Stars | Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy (1968) | Thursday | May 28th 2026
2026-05-28 19:00 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Fasten your seatbelts and adjust your ray guns—Journey to the Stars is blasting off into the wonderfully weird, wildly campy side of space-alien cinema. This playful screening celebrates a time when sci-fi was equal parts imagination, spectacle, and pure, unfiltered fun, inviting audiences to embrace the absurd as we explore the cosmos.
We’ll begin with A Trip to Mars (1910), an early silent fantasy that captures humanity’s first cinematic flirtations with extraterrestrial worlds, complete with whimsical effects and wide-eyed wonder. Then, prepare for the ultimate cosmic camp classic: Barbarella (1968). Overflowing with psychedelic visuals, outrageous costumes, and tongue-in-cheek sensuality, this cult favorite turns space exploration into a glittering, groovy adventure unlike anything else in sci-fi history.
Blast off with a night of aliens, adventure, and unapologetic camp—where the stars are strange, the fashion is fabulous, and sci-fi doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.

With a delivery that’s both vulnerable and fierce, his sound has been compared to Steve Earle, AA Bondy, Frank Turner, and the Weakerthans. Seth’s live shows are known for their emotional intensity and raw authenticity, earning him a dedicated following throughout Canada, the U.S., and Europe.

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.
