Arts Alive! 2012 – November 2, 3 & 4
Begin now to promote our 28th Arts Alive Festival. Watch for our “invitation” to arrive via email that is an easy “must” to post on your website, Facebook page and email list. Let’s join together in a grand collective effort to invite hundreds of visitors to experience the “artists among us”. Plan now to participate in the merchant-hosted opening art walk, 4pm-7pm, Friday, November 2nd, followed by the spotlight concert at Maple Hall, presenting internationally-known bass and cello duo Bottom Line Duo. Concert brought to you by the La Conner Institute of Performing Arts. I will stop by the first week of October to know of your intent to extend your hours for the art walk and gather program information.
