Here's the thing: It seems like every publication and its brother puts out a Fall Arts Guide. We're not sure why - other than the arts are awesome (of course). But how this all started we don't know. Why fall, and the arts, and guides all became linked is somewhat mysterious, but we're as guilty as the next rag of indulging in the time honored tradition.
This year, however, we wanted to spice things up - literally. Instead of the usual boring calendar, and the usual boring previews, the Volcano's highly skilled team of caged monkeys has come up with 21 ½ recommended nights of art in the South Sound - evenings that include some of the best art heading to town over the next year (as you'd expect from a Fall Arts Guide), paired with some of the best drinking and dining you'll find anywhere (the curveball).
It's a new twist on an old favorite, and we hope you enjoy. - Matt Driscoll
