'Start with the Arts' will highlight city's attractions "Start with the Arts," a new program designed to raise awareness about the Elm City's rich offerings in the arts, is being launched this month by Market New Haven Inc., the City of New Haven Office of Cultural Affairs, the Town Green Special Services District and the Arts Council of Greater New Haven. Through the "Start with the Arts" program, a cultural map of the city and a calendar of special events will be distributed to area residents and visitors. The map offers general information about New Haven's many performance venues, museums, galleries, ateliers and exhibition spaces, while the inaugural calendar offers specific information about activities taking place in the city Sept. 12-Oct. 12. There will be a kick-off reception for "Start with the Arts" 6-8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12, at the Neighborhood Music School on Audubon Street, in conjunction with ArtSpot! New Haven, which is billed as a "happy hour with an arts twist." The event will feature food, drink, music and sample dance lessons. There is a $10 suggested donation. Cultural maps and calendars will be available at any of the arts institutions in New Haven.
