The thing Artists and Activists have in common is a passion for their work. I hope to mesh these passions in this group. Art, political and social activism have long been happy bedfellows. Think of Picasso’s Guernica Night, Susan Crile’s Abu Graib series, and more locally to Connecticut, the Cycle of Terror and Tragedy, September 11 by Graydon Parrish housed at the New Britain Museum of American Art. As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …

I'd like to see if anyone in the Northampton area is interested in getting together and singing Beatles songs with acoustic accompaniment. We would meet every 6 weeks or so, at a local pub, on a Saturday afternoon from 2-5. Beer optional, but it helps! I run a Beatles and Beer group in Providence and it's a lot of fun; looking to see if there is interest in Northampton since I spend time there as well. Let's get together and sing! Cheers, Jennifer

My purpose in this site, and I am sure other members agree, is to spread the Joy of Salsa Dancing and create a Salsa Dance Community. I believe everyone should be touched by the magic of Salsa dancing. My name is Meli Morash, born and raised in Istanbul,Turkey. Being from the Mediterranean area I was exposed to Latin dances like Samba, Mambo, Cha-Cha- Cha, and Rumba, but did not know anything about SALSA. About 15 years ago my friend and I were in Cancun Mexico, I encounter the Salsa Congress. …
