Arts Council fall open house a success

Arts Council staff
Sept. 10 was an extremely busy and exciting Saturday in downtown Princeton.
   We would like to thank everyone who stopped by the Arts Council’s annual fall open house at the Paul Robeson Center that afternoon. Knowing that there were many different activities going on in town, it was great to see hundreds of new and familiar faces here. Many of our visitors had the opportunity to meet instructors and view our membership exhibition “Re:Member,” Jay Plett’s photography exhibition, “Moment: Memory,” and our new “Faculty Spotlight” exhibition. Quite a few stayed later in the afternoon to attend the reading of Charles Evered’s new play “Ten.”
   We would like to thank the many people who helped to make the event a success. Our performers — Lisa Botalico and the La Feria dancers, and Zoe Brookes and the kids of the Stone Soup Circus — set the tone and created lots of excitement on the front steps. Our fabulous artist-instructors were both gracious and informative.
   We would also like to thank our friends at Halo Pub, Bai beverages and small world coffee, for providing the perfect refreshments to keep us going all afternoon.
   Lastly, we send a special thanks to our volunteers, who help us on a daily basis to “build community through the arts.”
