Arts and Humanities Month Coming in October!

This October not only marks every child's favorite sweet tooth holiday but now also highlights Evanston's new and improved Arts and Humanities Month.

Beginning on October 2nd and running through October 30th, Evanston's Arts and Humanities Month will replace the previous Evanston Arts Week and will showcase a variety of events throughout the city. With a Dance Showcase on October 11th and a free Opening Night Ceremony on October 2nd, this year's Arts and Humanities Month is sure to be a great success.

The City of Evanston website had this to say to "all those involved in the arts":

"The Evanston Arts Council encourages local businesses, civic leaders, media outlets, schools and all interested individuals to join the celebration this October. Through partnership and collaboration, we can grow stronger and better connected to each other, thereby enriching our broader community. Help us make the arts a visible and vital part of everyone’s everyday lives in Evanston."

Other planned events include, Meet the Legislators breakfast from 8:30-10:00AM on October 26th and an Arts Month Halloween event (perhaps a haunted house???) on October 30th at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center. Check back for details or call the City of Evanston Cultural Arts Division at 847.448.8260.

Get Excited! The Schedule will be up soon!
