Arts Updates, Interviews, Calendar, Calls for Artists and Volunteers, Auditions --- It's All Here in Arts Blast, Arts Blast on the Air, and on Facebook. | Supporting The Arts & Arts Councils Everywhere | |

Notes from the Editor:
I'm often asked by readers new to the area or those living elsewhere, "How can there possibly be so many things to do there?" Our arts calendar can be really wonderful or a real challenge — or both.
This is such a jam-packed weekend that Arts Blast is going out in two parts: A calendar now and an Arts Blast features edition later. If you see anything missing from the calendar, let me know. I'll continue to add entries throughout the weekend.
