Center Square: Columns by Chris Satullo

Help to enliven the region's arts

Nov. 8:

You can help paint the Big Canvas - and get some holiday shopping done in the same trip.

The Big Canvas Confab, the concluding event in a months-long citizen dialogue about the future of arts and culture in this region, will take place at 1 p.m. Dec. 6 at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel and Convention Center.

That, of course, is just a short hop from the King of Prussia mall. So come talk, then shop. Or shop, then talk.
