ShorElines: Quotable and Notable

In my quest to find the perfect holiday gift. . .
I like to shop locally for items that go beyond mass production and exemplify handmade and artistic creations. Generosity and intent aside, there are many beautiful and often one-of-a-kind gifts to be found throughout the arts community that will bring joy and happiness for many years to come. You might even get something wonderful for yourself!

It's Bigger and Better Than Ever!

For museum goers and art lovers the long-awaited grand opening of the reinstalled Yale Art Gallery is happening this week! On Wednesday, December 12 there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony in celebration of the completion of this six-year project. This important initiative, which has been accompanied by parallel growth in the museum’s holdings, has enabled the Gallery not only to enhance its role as one of the nation’s preeminent teaching institutions, but also to join the ranks of the country’s leading public art museums.

Sound of Silence

There's a constant soundtrack playing in the background during these days of holiday celebration and merriment. From Eartha Kitt's throated version of "Santa Baby," to Nat King Cole's "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire". You can't seem to escape the tunes and tones of holiday music…and quite honestly silence at this time of year can be a great retreat. Now through December 16th The Ivoryton Playhouse Christmas show, produced in partnership with the National Theatre of the Deaf brings to the Ivoryton community something unique where you can experience the sounds and silence of the holiday season.

The Secret is Getting Started

Did you ever think about writing a children’s story, or your memoirs or maybe a work of historical fiction or illustrating a picture book? What stopped you from pursuing that dream? Were you unsure of how to get started or where to seek out professional guidance or perhaps where to send your completed manuscript? Well, now you have the opportunity to get those pages or illustrations out of the drawer, dust off your computer keyboard and put those wonderful ideas on paper. Read more.
