All net proceeds will be redistributed back into the community as charitable donations and/or art grants. The party gets started at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Bodega, 555 E. Fourth St., and outside the venue at Scrapyard Alley and Elko Street. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Visit www.renoburners.org.
