what to expect

Today, my friend and fellow writer Lyrysa Smith (former writer for the Times Union) will read from her work on WAMC. Tune in at 10:45 a.m.

This weekend, check out Troy's Riverfront Arts Festival on Saturday.

Join The Arts Center this week and display some of your work at their annual Fence Show, which begins this weekend and continues later with a selected jurors' show. If you'd rather sit on the fence than display your work, you can volunteer this week to help hang art at the center. If you know how to use a power tool -- or want to learn, this is for you (Gina, the gallery director, will be grateful).
