Today at noon Scott Lancaster (of the Arts Council) will be speaking to the Kiwanis Club of Decatur. Basically the speech will address some of the history of the Arts Council and transition into how the current group got involved. We’d like to thank the Kiwanis Club for allowing us to speak to them!

Update: Currently we’re working on design concepts and testing materials for the murals. More information will be provided soon on the updated Mural Project. Read the past Decatur Daily article.

We’re about 75% done with the painting and waiting on a break in the weather to finish it up. Progress pictures coming soon. Read the Decatur Daily article. Photo by Brennan Smith at the Decatur Daily.

Today we worked with Randy Tardy to help run the concessions at the Downtown Decatur Halloween Hoot. The Hoot is an annual event for families, artists, entertainers, etc. put on by city organizations. There was plenty of live music, arts and crafts, costumes and performances culminating in “I’m Sorry the Bridge is Out, You’ll Have to Spend the Night” to be performed by the Dreamweavers at the Princess Theatre.
