TWENTY-FOUR ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE FEATURED AT

“COMMUNITY ARTS CONVERSATIONS”

(Tuscaloosa, AL)  Representatives from local arts and cultural organizations will gather at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 for “Community Arts Conversations.” Twenty-four groups will be present from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., offering both information and promotional items to the public during this free event.
