Dear Arts Council Members:
 
Do you enjoy live music? MAC is planning a bluegrass night tentatively set for April 4th at the Augusta Curtis Cultural Center featuring MAC member Matt Nozzolio.  Check out his My Space, http://www.myspace.com/mattnozzolio for a sample of what you’ll be hearing.

Part of the discussion at our board meeting was about how hard it’s been lately to get arts information published in the Record Journal.  This makes us feel that it’s that much more important for people to have a central place to look for arts and cultural happenings in our area.  In order to get your event information out to the public faster and more accurately, we’ve added an interactive calendar to our website.  You can add your events through a simple on line form, and we can easily use the same information when we publish our printed calendar every quarter.  Castle Craig Players and Maloney High School have already taken advantage of this feature.  Don’t hesitate to check it out and let us know how you like it.
 
Katrina Axelrod and Kristina Kosnoff attended a meeting of all groups who are applying for the 2009 LAA Grant.  They found the meeting a good networking opportunity and a good chance to become aware of the resources that are available for Local Arts Agencies.
