Here's a magazine you won't find on the newsstand
If you like the how-to articles in the watercolor magazines, you will LOVE Palette magazine. The entire magazine is chock-full of advice, tips, exercises and demonstrations.
I picked up a free copy at the Watercolor Society of Indiana's June meeting, and immediately pored through the 32-page issue. In the last two weeks I've gone back to the issue multiple times. To subscribe to the quarterly magazine, edited by Christopher Schink and William Lawrence, call 800-227-2788 or visit the Web site at http://www.thepalettemagazine.com. The magazine subscription is $22.95, but the Web site also offers a free e-mail newsletter.
Arts Fair on the Square
Tomorrow's a big day in downtown Bloomington. You can start with the Farmers' Market, move on to the Arts Fair on the Square and finish the day at A Taste of Bloomington. The Arts Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and features work from nearly 70 artists and craftspeople. Local performing arts groups will provide entertainment throughout the day.
Final curtain for Lotus Dickey Hometown Reunion
This weekend's Lotus Dickey music and arts festival on the Orleans Square has been billed as the last. That's sad, but it also makes it even more special than usual. The free event starts tonight at 6 p.m. and runs till 10 p.m., and then it resumes tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. and provides 12 nonstop hours of music. In addition to the stage entertainment, check out the jammers' area, the Saturday morning Farmers' Market and regional artisans and crafters.
