Greetings!
I can never remember which is preferable for March, out like a lion or lamb? Or a frog or a golden retriever, for that matter (John Belushi fans will get the reference...).
In any case, April is almost here, and Spring is a busy time for CAP and for the Arts in Tompkins County. Check out the latest from our workshop series and the bevy of calls for artists in this month's ArtsLetter...
Cheers!
Brett Bossard, Executive Director |
