Greetings!
It's no surprise that with THREE institutions of higher learning, April and May are extremely busy months in Tompkins County. Our arts community is matching the pace with a remarkable array of events and opportunities across all disciplines.
Here at CAP, I'm excited to say that many of our new ventures are getting underway this Spring as well. The Spring (W)rites literary festival, our professional development workshops, and the 2010-2011 Greater Ithaca Art Trail map/brochure will all be making appearances in the coming weeks.
I hope you'll have time in this busy season to soak up some art along with some much needed sun!
Cheers,  Brett Bossard, Executive Director P.S. If you haven't already, use the link at left to become a FAN of CAP on FaceBook. One more way to keep you informed! |
