Hey, folks:

It's time again to say thanks to Ms. Sasse and to Allied Arts for
ArtsChatt. And I want to send my personal for all they do for the
University and in particular for their support of events in the Fine Arts
Center. Funding from Allied Arts is directly responsible for many events,
including the workshop at 11:00 am on Monday and the Race for the Cure
appearance by Nnennna Freelon and T. S. Monk this week. Did you know they
also help the Cadek Conservatory and the Southeast Center? Where would our
city be, not just the artists, without the support of its citizens for the
cultural life of our region? And Allied Arts is a foremost advocate for
that cultural life from which we all benefit.

Please don't forget that the Fine Arts Center has several important events
this week:

        Running through October 10, 2001 the Cress Gallery of Art is showing the
                Department of Art Biennial Faculty Exhibition.

        Thursday   8 pm Cadek Chamber Orchestra,
                                featuring Clarinetist Nikolas Tejero

        Friday      8 pm        UTC Symphony Orchestra,
                                performing, appropriately,      patriotic American music

        Friday      8 pm        University Theatre Company
        and Saturday 8 pm       The Importance of Being Earnest

        Sunday   7:30 pm        T. S. Monk and Nnenna Freelon perform in the                            Dorothy
Patten Series. Tickets are flying out the                               door.

From all of us at the Fine Arts Center, thanks for your patronage!!
