About ARTEFFECTS
Delves into the local arts scene while encompassing art features from across the nation. A play on the word "artifact" that emphasizes, not only the positive intended and unintended "effects" the arts have in our daily environments, region, and world - but also the long-term and lasting impact the arts have in helping define and describe our culture, community, nation, and world.
