Culturally Diverse Arts Events Listings for March & April 2011

Dear Friends, Art Lovers & Neighbours,

Here is the latest edition of the Stand Firm Central Networks event's listings! There is so much to do and see this spring and guess what? We have even more things to do than ever before because we have several new members in our network: Diaspora Dialogues, Ipsita Nova Dance, Fuse Magazine, New Harlem Productions, Rina Singha Kathak Dance, Six Ah Wi, and Toronto Urban Music Festival. You can check out their websites on our blog!

Also, thank you so much for attending our recent Spring Fling event! The event was a great success and our organizations were thrilled with all the eager and interesting people who have shown interest in volunteering with them! If you pick up this week's DOWNTOWN BULLETIN newspaper, you can check out an article and photos about the event.
