CH-CH-CHANGES
When we started this column 25 years ago, it was sometimes a stretch to find a single arts event in a week. We have profiled artists, searched for news far and wide, and even written “how-to” pieces to keep the torch lit. Today, it’s rare that this column has fewer than a dozen events or is shorter than 1,000Â words.
With that marvelous growth comes change. The St. Albans Messenger will no longer run the arts separately. Instead, they will incorporate the arts with other events in a single calendar.
ArtBits Online will continue to be published every Thursday at artbits.AllArts.org. We also offer a direct e-mail service.
