Somerville Voices: Dump ArtBeat to save Honk!?

[Somerville Voices]

*New This Week on Somerville Voices

20, 2008* Dump ArtBeat, Save
Honk!<http://www.somervillevoices.org/2008/10/17/arts-and-culture/dump-artbeat-save-honk/>

I'm sure I'm not the first person to say that ArtBeat has become lame. Other
than some interesting music, it is mostly a lame, generic craft festival. It
is almost always too hot and not that unique or interesting.
Honk, on the other hand, showcases what makes Somerville unique and
compelling. Like the Fluff festival and Open Studios, Honk is becoming a
great example of funky, creative Somerville.
Unfortunately, rumor has it that Honk may not necessarily continue. This
would be a huge loss.
Does anyone else share my views that ArtBeat should be substantially changed
and that public and Arts Council funds should be dedicated more towards
saving Honk?
