Westward Whoa!  It’s manifest destiny with a digital twist, a wilder, more whimsical West where the pioneering spirit is taken to fantastical new extremes.  Equal parts Steampunk ball and surreal saloon, this imaginative evening will feature a live performance by San Francisco’s Le Cancan Bijoux and a free screening of American Astronaut, a western space musical produced and starring Cory McAbee.  Dress in costume of appropriate flair and help us reinvent history. Ticket includes desserts and savory treats. 

Membership support by NV Energy. Hosted by Barrick Gold of North America.  Promotional support by High Desert Steam and Polyesther’s Costume Boutique.  After Party hosted by 1864 Tavern.

Bring your native baskets to the Museum where a panel of prominent experts will help identify and describe the object’s origins. Panelists include Brian Bibby, Marvin Cohodas, Catherine Fowler, Gene Hattori, and SueAnn Monteleone. Bring as many baskets as you like.

FREE General Admission and basket event participation exclusively sponsored by the E. L. Wiegand Foundation.

The Museum commissioned composer Jean-Paul Perrotte to create a new work and “…the river flows, shaping a changing landscape…” is the 10-instrument result.  Experience the aural landscape of Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River then enjoy dinner* at chez louie following the premiere performance of this original musical work.
