This Saturday the 9th, Arts Partners is hosting a Professional Development Workshop: Business of the Arts. This is a (free!) chance to connect with other local and regional artists and learn how to build your business.

Hoo-rah for Second Saturday. Shop our beautiful city center – there’s so much to explore.

Second Saturday of the month also means Bird Walks at the Great Plains Nature Center. Bundle up and meet fellow bird watchers in the parking lot at 8:00 a.m. Bring your binoculars.

The Library has been delighting us lately:

Great display at Central, right?

We also discovered The Secret Book Club. Choose a book without knowing the title – it’s already wrapped. Great way to try something new.

They have a club for teens as well: The First Liners Club. Choose a book based on the first line alone. Helps you branch out if you tend toward the same genre.

On to Events:

Every second Wednesday, you can head to Westlink for an Adult Coloring Event. I have been seeing this new trend everywhere and I love it. Great way to chat with someone while being creative. The library will provide materials and beverages. You just show up at 6:30. Bring someone you’ve been wanting to catch up with and go out for dessert after.

This Saturday the 9th from 10:30-12:30, bring the family to Central to enjoy an Academy Award Animated Shorts Retrospective. Enjoy some cartoon blasts from the past.

Then Saturday afternoon from 2-5, take in some favorite documentaries from past Academy Awards’ lists. Will include at least 3 short films.

And it looks like Story Times will be starting up again next week for the Spring semester.

Enjoy your weekend!
