Arts reporter and critic Rosemary Ponnekanti keeps you in touch with the arts and culture scene with the help of other News Tribune writers, critics and editors.
Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

I've just received another closure/cancellation notice - and again it's from Seattle.
I've been trying to get updates from the Museum of Glass and Tacoma Art Museum tonight but their websites are quiet. Perhaps they plan on normal operations on Sunday.
If I decide to hit the roads tomorrow and head to an arts or entertainment venue I'm going to call first to make sure they're open.

I'm in the newsroom this afternoon, covering Snowpocalypse. Even an arts editor is pressed in to duty on days like this.
I was expecting the whole Puget Sound A&E scene to shut down this weekend but found this in my in box:
