I just visited Indy Hall (short for Independents Hall) in Philadelphia last week. I'll try to post a report on the visit soon.

art - "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." I'd like to see art as applied…

The name Artisphere was approved at last night's County Board meeting. The press release uses all upper case, ARTISPHERE, several times and the upper/lower version, Artisphere, once. Hope the upper/lower case version is what sticks and that we all g…

Just to close the loop on this discussion, I took a class with Jane McIlvaney Coonce through Arlington Adult Education. Jane is great, the classes are very good, and I will do it again this coming year. - Ted

What about something like "the Arlington Cultural Hub"? If someone wanted to shorten it, they could call it "the ACH" (pronouncing it like H) or "the Hub." Yes, I know that Boston has some claim to the Hub, but at least it seems to go in the right d…

I agree with Erica-where did these names come from? I find them to be awkward and I think people would use them more as a joke than anything. I can't really see myself saying..."Let's go hang out at the Orb." I would probably just always say the cul…
