Hollow Mountain Workshops: Where Curiosity Becomes Capability | April 27th thru May 30th 2026

We believe that kids and teens have deep capacities for empathy, intelligence, and critical thinking, but they are being hindered by factors like excessive screen time, social isolation, a lack of opportunities for growth, and a disconnect not only from community but responsibilities to their community.
Kids need spaces where they can build and develop not just cool hobbies and academic skills, but where they can dig deep into themselves to find truth and meaning. The concept of a Hollow Mountain comes right from our Comstock traditions: digging into the mountain to unearth the value that already exists within.

C5 presents: Cosmic Origins: The Birth & Rebirth of Sci-Fi | 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | Thursday | April 30th 2026
2026-04-30 19:00 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Travel from the earliest dreams of space exploration to the infinite unknown with Cosmic Origins: The Birth & Rebirth of Sci-Fi, a cinematic journey through the foundations of science fiction on film. This special screening traces how filmmakers first imagined the cosmos—and how those visions evolved into bold, philosophical meditations on humanity’s place in the universe.
We’ll begin with A Trip to the Moon (1902), Georges Méliès’ pioneering silent short that launched science fiction cinema with wonder, whimsy, and groundbreaking visual effects. The evening culminates with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, a monumental work that redefined the genre through its stunning imagery, haunting score, and profound questions about evolution, technology, and the future of mankind.
Strap in for an awe-inspiring night that celebrates the origins of cinematic sci-fi, the rebirth of the genre as high art, and the enduring power of film to imagine worlds beyond our own—on the big screen, where these visions truly belong.
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.

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.

“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.
