As mentioned a couple of issues back, Arts Alive is changing shape this spring into a multi-day, annual event akin to Huntsville’s successful Panoply festival that has become a signature happening in the Tennessee Valley.

This Arts Alive weekend features a variety of art forms bound to tickle most any fancy, a street festival and open galleries. Space doesn’t allow Artifice room for further discussion without selling an exhibit or activity short. So without further ado…
