AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — With Republicans controlling more than half the state legislatures across the country, some want to use that power to push for a federal spending limit through a mechanism unused since George Washington's day.
BOSTON – Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced that the annual Boston Arts (Ahts) Festival will be re-imagined as Emerge, a one-day celebration of local arts and culture. The Festival will highlight Boston's ever-changing and emerging identity as a vibrant city with a thriving local art scene. The name Emerge was suggested by Chris Lindgren , who was selected as the winner of the 2015 Arts Festival naming competition.
In addition to presenting work by emerging and established artists from both the local and national art scene, this new event will explore the civic role of art and design by positioning City Hall as a place that actively fosters cultural events and community dialogue. Emerge is free and open to the public and will be held at City Hall on September 10 from 5:00pm to 10:30pm.
