Think Ahead: Fall 2024
Create Relevant Arts Programming and Promote Your Collection according to the Time of the Year. September marks the end of the summer and the beginning of Fall. Fall is officially the opening of the performing arts season that includes Classical Music, Opera and Broadway. Fall art exhibits also open across the United States marking a new visual art season. Oftentimes, I choose programming that reflects what's opening in the local area and the time of the year.

About Arts Brève
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE ARTS, LIBRARIES & BEYOND
"I am so proud to introduce my new platform to libraries and beyond. Over the years, my invaluable experience working in libraries and Lincoln Center has taught me that library patrons from all walks of life deserve the highest arts experience whether through programming, the library’s collection, or databases. The AB is short for Arts Brève, a French term meaning arts briefly. The operatic diva in me chose the French term for flare and business purposes. This new platform brings the arts to libraries with helpful and quality content offering programming suggestions and tips on collection development in the arts. I am inspired by my personal path to opera, art and classical music through beloved libraries."
