Are you feeling fall yet? The forecast projects highs in the 50s and 60s for the rest of the week. I know, not exactly hot chocolate weather, but at least we can finally wear those sweaters with confidence. You know what else is cool this week? All the fabulous art-related events going on in our neck of the woods! There are film festivals, art exhibitions, theater, and concerts galore. There’s so much going on you’ll wonder what to do first. Lucky for you our picks this week will help you decide.
