INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we learn about the Division Avenue Arts Collective, located at 115 S. Division, and some of its re-forming plans in maintaining its vital role in the community. We are joined in studio by The DAAC board members John Hanson and Mike Wolf, talking a bit about what this Heartside district staple as an all-ages arts venue  is planning for the future, and about an upcoming fundraising campaign to upgrade and enhance its services.

MUSIC

Music featured in this edition of Catalyst Radio is from Kalamazoo area artist Fiona Dickenson, from her 2011 disc Duende, with the song “My Lovely Friend.”

Dickens performs tonight at the DAAC, along with Chicago musicians Advance Base and Julie Byrne.

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
