“Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined.
If you have an event or a group that you’d like to be featured, send us an email at arts@bwog.com. We try to include as many events as we can find and fit, but reaching out to us is the best way to make sure your event is promoted to the student community and is covered by a staffer.
