We're on the brink of a New Year and a decade: 2011-2020. Can that be right? At the end of the next decade we'll be looking at 2021, and wondering where the time went? Yes, and we have our work cut out for us lovers, doers, and experiencers of arts and culture here in SoHa... Let's think about what we want to see and happen in the worlds of arts and culture and let's get to it... and to do that let's get like-minded people together in that mission - such as, First Night 2012 and thereafter; a virtual warehouse of costumes and props; and a regional mentoring program by local artists and performers.
