Mark your calendars for Orange County Arts Council's, "Creative Contacts" series Spring Fling on Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 at 6:30 PM. We will have food, drinks, performances, followed by a free form networking session. In these tough times, it is crucial that artists stay in touch with their local community, for numerous opportunities are made possible by virtue of simple communication among artist communities. I have witnessed so many ambitious plans in the works, and am invigorated, and inspired by my fellow artists.
