Dear Arts Lovers,
Around the world, we celebrate Spring with festivals such as Holi, Easter, Passover, Eid, and so many others! We celebrate with dance, music, clothing, food, and other practices that connect us to the explosion of color that we see in nature around us. It is a time of warming and awakening from the winter; reconnecting with family, friends, faith, and community; and sharing and learning how others celebrate in ways unique to their own culture.
The diversity of our cultures, our faiths, and our celebrations are as vibrant and beautiful as the colors of spring. Together, we make a tableau beautifully reflective of who we are that is as vibrant and diverse as nature!
Happy Spring!
Christine Matovich
Founder, CommonTime
