SPACETAKER | september 2010
In September, our hearts are ringing in the key our soul is singing. Or so go the immortal words of Earth, Wind, and Fire. So, sing and dance in the night as inspired by one of the many great events September is bringing our way.

SPACETAKER | august 2010
When it comes to ‘August’ celebrations of the arts, nobody quite does it up like Edinburgh, Scotland, where no less than 12 separate annual festivals converge on the town each year, many of them in conjunction with the Edinburgh International Festival.

SPACETAKER ARTSCENE | july 2010
July is all about fireworks, parades, picnics, baseball games and pride in our U.S. of A. If you’re hungry for more “fireworks” after the fourth, the romantic Asian-derived festival of Tanabata is a few days later on the seventh.

SPACETAKER ARTSCENE | february 2010
Love! Valour! Compassion! Another Valentine’s Day is upon us… are you anxious? Fear not, fair ladies and gallant gentlemen – face February 14 with faith! Faith that you won’t score a dinner reservation at your first choice, that a shaky economy won’t preclude price gouging on roses, and that Hugh Grant will probably get [...]
SPACETAKER ARTSCENE | january 2010
2010 has arrived and so begins the debate of how to refer to the present year. Before the turn of the millennium, the year was commonly pronounced by two two-digit numbers (nineteen seventy-nine, for instance), but post-Y2K society has bucked tradition by starting the last nine years with “two-thousand.” Will 2010 herald a return to [...]
