Evelyn: A celebration of Women, Art and the Creative Process.
7 to 9 p.m. SUNDAY, APRIL 22 • Delight in an evening with painter Elissa Slanger and "Evelyn," her inspiring 30-minute film about a prolific artist who continues to create colorful works of art well into her 90s.

Following the film Elissa will moderate a lively panel discussion with accomplished Tahoe-Truckee artists including Brooke Bishop, Eva Nichols and Nancy Tieken Lopez.
