Have you heard the buzz yet?

“The Culture Buzz” is a new radio show hosted by John Busbee and broadcast by KFMG-LP, 99.1 FM. Catch it Thursdays from 1-2pm. I haven’t had the pleasure of listening to it yet, but according to the press release it will will focus on upcoming arts events in central Iowa and provide a forum for cultural discussion. Mr. Busbee hopes to include interviews with arts leaders, as well as reviews of concerts, plays and exhibitions.

Want to hire a model, but can’t afford to?

Catherine Dreiss and Jeffrey Thompson have non-instructional life drawing sessions in their studio every Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Fitch Building, Studio 406, 304 15 Street. Space is limited, so call 515 284 6980 to reserve a spot.

Catherine and Jeffrey provide coffee and models. You are responsible for your own chair, paper, and drawing tools. Participants pay the models $15 an hour, so the amount you pay will vary by the number of participants. Sessions begin exactly at 10, so be early to be let into the building and to set up.

Get out there and support a couple of bright young artists!
