When it's cold outside, you can always count on the arts to keep things warm. This January, some of our favorite local organizations are keeping things alive with new and continuing art exhibits, two new theatrical productions, two symphony performances and the Waterworks Visual Arts Center Oyster Roast event that brings us all together each year. Visit us this January for an exciting dive into the arts and discover how #RowanCreates.
