Potentialist Made Carson City Lights Show Called "Bust" and Shut Down After One Night

The Brewery Arts Center abruptly canceled the Potentialist Workshop made Caron City Lights show today after just one night, despite widespread promotion of the event which was supposed to go until February 15th with a much touted 3,000 square-foot temporary sculptural structure and immersive, family friendly, glowing exhibit walk through Mills Park.

“Words fall short of explaining this breathtaking immersive art exhibition,” a previous press release indicated. “It truly must be seen to be believed.”

" 📢 As proud Nevadans, we here at BAC are always willing to take a gamble. Unfortunately, Carson City Lights was a bust.
We truly appreciate the respect and trust the community puts in us to throw events and that is a trust we never want to violate.
After opening night it is clear this event falls very short of the gold standard we try to uphold," the Brewery Arts Center wrote today on its Facebook.

"Please accept our sincere apology and know our reputation, community, and audience mean more to us than any amount of money.

Because of this we will be issuing refunds for all tickets including those that were used to attend last night.
*Please allow 5-7 days for refunds to be reflected on your credit card statement."

Pictures from the Potentialist Workshop during the build included one of a tarp full of bolts of different sizes, but there was no update from their own social media today as to what had transpired.

“Went last night and it was evident within 5 seconds the event was a disappointment,” Morgan Kern wrote on a Carson City Facebook page. “Taking a chance can be risky and sometimes it pays off, but owning up to a failure when it doesn't, deserves much respect.”

The Visit Carson City website which was promoting the event now has a broken link. The immersive art experience was billed as having been created by the Potentialist Workshop, produced by the Brewery Arts Center, and sponsored by Visit Carson City.
