Becket Arts Center—So Much to Love & Coffee Bag Art Returns
There is something for everyone at the BAC in February. Intro to Improv continues on Tuesdays through 2/18. We welcome songwriter, multi- instrumentalist, and lead singer/performer Chris Merenda for a two-weekend songwriting workshop residency (February 15 & 22) that culminates in his performance on February 22 at 7pm.
Drum with Rick Shrum! in a monthly class on February 26—learn to play traditional west African rhythms on hand drums in a fun group setting. And join Jim Petosa for our monthly writing group on February 24.
PLUS our Coffee Bag Art Contest returns to raise funds for children’s programming. Stop by the BAC to pick up a large, burlap coffee sack, get creative, and return it by March 2nd. We can’t wait to see what you’ll make this year! www.becketartscenter.org/coffee-bag-art for details.
