A! Magazine for the Arts celebrates its 25th birthday this month.
You are cordially invited to help us celebrate our birthday Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. at the Paramount Center for the Arts, Bristol, Tenn. We’ll have a bite to eat and a beverage (cash bar). There will be a short presentation on our plans for the future and then we’ll eat cake. The party is free and open to everyone.
Our cover story provides a brief history of our 25 years and insights from local arts professionals.
It’s been a fascinating 25 years - filled with great art, music, theater and more. It’s is our privilege to share their accomplishments and passion with you, our readers.
