Art Discussions Planned at Coffee Shops in Evanston

EVANSTON, IL - Art and coffee have always made for an inspiring mix.

And since Evanston has no shortage of either, a program will begin next month for lovers of both.

Jennifer Lasik, Evanston's cultural arts coordinator, has organized weekly informal "drop-in" conversations at local coffee shops.

An Evanston ARTscape news release says art lovers are welcome to come and discuss "projects, policy, the arts council, arts philosophy and trends."
