City Arts Nashua

This is a photo from the summer Artwalk taken in the John M. Hunt Memorial Library. Several performers played instruments and sang in the front room that day.

The Artwalk in Nashua has grown considerably in the past couple of years which is a profound jump for Arts in Nashua. Artists here are struggling to make an impact. Many people in the area are dedicated to further enable and grow the art scene here; I for one have just become one on the City Arts Nashua (CAN) Advisory Board. CAN is the premier Nashua organization who's purpose is to encourage and promote Art in Nashua.

I will be featured in their Quarterly Newsletter as Photographer, Designer and Guest History Column Contributor. The first newsletter (published by me) is completed: Vol 2 Issue 5 - download it and see what's coming up in Nashua during the holiday season.

I have not written my first Nashua Arts history article or taken any photographs for CAN yet.. I am planning to contribute more than design in the spring issue.

Attended City Arts Nashua Business Seminar

From the first of three (for more information), I attended last night's City Arts Nashua (CAN) Seminar from 6:30-8:30 featuring how to be 'optimizing publicity through news publications.'

Wonderfully orchestrated, the information presented by Jen O'Callahan, Editor of the Nashua Telegraph's weekly Encore, and Nashua Hippo Arts Reporter Heidi Masek coupled with the forum created by the attendees made yesterday's evening whish away ever so quickly with entertaining information and motivating strategies.

I believe all the artists who attended walked out better equipped to promote themself and future events... I know I did!
