The winter event season doesn’t have to be dead — you just have to plan with a little more intention than you do in more temperate seasons. That’s where the Scene’s Winter Arts Guide comes in.
In this week’s issue, our experts map out some highlights of this season’s arts events, from a forthcoming conversation between literary heavies George Saunders and Ann Patchett to a contemporary riff on Shakespeare’s Hamlet and a new artist project space in the former Zeitgeist gallery. And just in case you needed more incentive to get moving, we’ve reached out to some of the city’s influential tastemakers to see what’s on their radar.
In these pages, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy through the coming months, from visual arts and author events to film series and more. Your winter calendar’s about to be booked. —LAURA HUTSON HUNTER, ARTS EDITOR
