Millions donated to county-based arts council
Although we aren’t a major metropolitan area, we certainly have a good number of corporations nearby. If only we could get Talecris, Caterpillar, NovoNordisk, PGI Nonwovens, or Sysco Foods to give millions for arts programming!

Young @ Heart Chorus
I’ve received several videos by the Young @ Heart Chorus in the past year and felt it was time to share with you all. If you don’t know about the Young at Heart Chorus, they sing to standing-room-only crowds in England, Europe and Australia. But in this country — outside their hometown, they are practically unknown.

Local Artist Profile: Cheryl McCardle
Continuing the Local Artist series, next up is Cheryl McCardle.

Eye of the Eagle Art’s Our Green Earth Event

Therefore it is fitting that an event that celebrates being Green also be an arts related event. This is the final schedule for the “Our Green Earth” event being held at the Clayton Town Square.
Date: April 19th
Time: [...]
