It makes perfect sense having a student design the poster for a student art exhibit at The Opera House. In this case, that's just what happened for Got Art 2010.

Here’s an opportunity to experience a production of phenomenal art created by a multitude of inspired youth in Livingston County.

The 11th annual Got Art exhibit at The Opera House this month should not be missed. Got Art, an eclectic mix of student art work K-12, is a program of the Livingston Arts Council. Over 25 art teachers in Livingston County have been invited to choose and contribute student work to showcase in the popular exhibit.

Join the fun and intrigue downtown on Friday night, February 12, for a peek at prohibition days.

The folks at the Acoustic Café and the Howell Carnegie District Library are in cahoots for a speakeasy theme at The Opera House to complement the Library’s Big Read program, The Maltese Falcon. Gangster, flapper or 1920s attire is not required, but feel free to get in the spirit! (Machine guns will be confiscated at the door.)

There’s no escaping the fact that it is now officially the Christmas season, with so much to see and so much to do. Around my neighborhood, almost every house (mine being the darkened exception) is aglow with decorations and strand after strand of Christmas lights. My lights lay in a colorful jumble on the living room floor. As soon as all the lights are detangled, I also need to decorate the Christmas tree. I need some inspiration.
