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.

Yard sales are on every block this time of year - some good, some dire. But when artists have sales, you wanna be there. Two very different sales are on this weekend.
This Saturday is the annual Spring Glass Sale for the Hilltop Artist in Residence program at Jason Lee Middle School. HART trains teenagers to blow, fuse and bead glass, keeping them in school and giving them a valuable career skill at the same time. The stuff they make isn't professional, but it looks great--and at half the price of most glass art. But everyone else is gonna want some, so you've got to be organized. The sale officially begins at 10 a.m. in the school auditorium (near the back, off the parking lot) but numbered tickets go on sale at 8 a.m. So get there way early, line up, get your ticket, and go off for breakfast at Shakabrah Java or somewhere. Then saunter back with your ticket, which will get you in the first go-through at 10 a.m.
All sale proceeds go directly to fund program costs including student scholarships and supplies and materials. Sale goes from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday June 13 at Jason Lee, 602 N Sprague St, Tacoma. Info:253-571-7670, info@hilltopartists.org, www.hilltopartists.org
On Friday and Saturday, a group of artist friends are cleaning out their basements for a yard sale near PLU. Here's what you'll find: furniture, books, yarn, antiques, crafts, supplies, jewelry, vintage kimonos, glassware, clothing, fabric and antique windows from the old courthouse in Tacoma and the old Dupont school...and more.
The sale is from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. June 12 and 13 at 12802 Park Ave S., Tacoma.
Happy shopping!
