Wednesday, August 11 and Thursday, August 12

• Crafts Center: Crafts staff will conduct two events for the Symposium for Multicultural Scholars with 120 students in each event – one in which students collectively paint a stretched canvas, and another where students create “goals and aspirations” visualization boards they can keep and hang as a reminder of their journey during their time at NC State.

CHECK. IT. OUT.

• Rich Holly’s latest “Our Life in the Arts” blog post tackles a topic that is difficult for many artists: asking for help.

• Thinking of a fall crafts class? Don’t wait. 46% of classes have sold out already, and another 10% have only one seat left.

• Tickets available now! Live music returns to Stewart Theatre, when The Quadrivium Project – the faculty rock band at NC State University – performs “All in All,” a concert featuring the music of Genesis and Pink Floyd. August 26 and 28 at 8pm. Tickets are available online at go.ncsu.edu/tqp21tix. This will be a general admission event, with plenty of empty seats to promote physical distancing.
