Tuning Up: Fellowship opportunities + S.C. Arts Awards
Good morning!
“Tuning Up” is a morning post series where The Hub delivers curated, quick-hit arts stories of interest to readers. Sometimes there will be one story, sometimes there will be several. Get in tune now, and have a masterpiece of a day. And now, in no particular order…
Forgive us if this is a little self-indulgent, but we have some reminders for you today.
We’re looking for some jolly good fellows.
