National Arts &
Humanities Month (NAHM) is a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the
importance of culture in America, organized by Americans for the Arts and
taking place this year in October. For 30 years, NAHM has encouraged all
Americans to explore new facets of the arts and humanities in their lives, and
to begin a lifelong habit of active participation in the arts.
Without even leaving the
Library, this month you can enjoy art exhibits, folk concerts, author talks,
book discussions, writing workshops, book launches, craft programs, two
weekends of book sales hosted by the Friends of the Library, and a range of
activities featuring “Alice in Wonderland.”
Whatever your age, there is plenty to celebrate!
If that is not enough to
keep you busy, take advantage of the offerings of our many neighbors and
partners. Ridgefield is blessed with an
extraordinarily vibrant arts and culture community, with too many wonderful
individuals, groups and institutions to list them all here.
So explore the arts and
humanities in October, and if you appreciate what you discover, write a letter
to the paper, share your enthusiasm on social media or support your favorites
with time or money.
