A Blues Camp Rite of Summer

Unlike jazz camps, camps that focus on the blues are a rarity. In 2010, when Fernando Jones decided to start one at Columbia College Chicago where he is on faculty the veteran bluesman and educator wasn’t quite sure it would work.
It did, and since then Jones’ blues camps have become an annual rite of summer. By 2019, the camps had welcomed hundreds of kids at sites in eight states, as well as the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan and Cuba. Last year’s program was shaping up as a major event, as well, until the pandemic hit in March. ....

This year, while there won’t be many in person events, there are some attractions and online events celebrating Black history and culture scheduled during February. One virtual event of interest is Freedom Summer, an online play presented by the North Carolina Black Repertory. This play runs from Feb. 19 to 28. For ticket ....

2020 was as a tough year in the art world as it was everywhere else

This anything-but-normal year began normally enough on the local and regional art scene.
The beginning of the year is traditionally a slower time for visual art in North Carolina, and January was true to form in that respect. For review in my column, I saw a benefit exhibition at Artworks Gallery and a traveling show of Allison Saarâs prints at UNCG s Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro.
Late in the January, as is my custom, I spent a few days in New York attending the annual Outsider Art Fair, although I didnât write about it in my column. Little did any of us know what a troubled place New York would be only two months later. ....
