Beltane
Beltane is the first Fire festival of the year and is held either on April 30 or May 1, which is halfway between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. The rituals conducted were intended to purify crops, animals, and people which would help to bring fertility in all three in the coming year.
AMES C.ART Art Talk
We begin a new monthly segment of Ames C.art Art Talk with Kristin Roach. The "C" in Ames C.art stands for community! Ames C.art seeks ways of getting people who don't think they are artists involved in art events. Kristin and friends review last weekend's Art Vacancy, an experimental show in which 20 artists made use of vacant downtown venues with installation / performances. Upcoming shows in the area were previewed . In the second half of the hour, host Greta Anderson reprises her conversation about cellulosic ethanol.
