7 artsy events to jazz up your January

January is nothing but a 31-day stretch of snowy slosh, lugging around holiday weight, and no vacation time. You could sink into seasonal depression and dwell on the negativity of the dead of winter. Or…..You could direct your attention to more interesting things next month—like our local art scene.

Don’t accept bleak, check out these seven artsy events happening next month:
