From LAAC:

Fall is in the air at the Los Alamos Arts Council (LAAC). Our fundraising activities continue, and we want to first thank everyone who has taken the time to donate, say a kind word, or share our story so that we are able to publish our fall activities with confidence. We still have a goal to reach before the end of the year and feel confident the community is with us every step of the way!

First up, SAFOS Dance Theatre is right around the corner. Their “Stories From Home” performance will take place at Duane Smith Auditorium and features dancers of the Southwest, and a special story with roots right here in Los Alamos. We’ve only sold 100 tickets and want to show these performers just how much Los Alamos loves the arts, so get tickets soon!
