As each New Year unfolds, Salinans can look forward to community programs of the Commission that stand the test of time.

• Art a la Carte concerts happen spring and fall, offering performances from, and for, young and old.
  
  
• The Spring Poetry series brings nationally and regionally recognized poets to Salina on Tuesday evenings in April. Presented in partnership with the Salina Public Library, this annual reading series also features one “New Voice” each year.
  
  
• The Salina Arts and Cultural Calendar is produced three times a year, and carries an array of activities from throughout the area, for your enjoyment. The Calendar is also available online at www.salinaarts.com
  
  
• Now in its second season, First Thursday Art Rush provides an opportunity for visual art galleries and presenters to showcase current exhibitions and activities. The event is modeled after hundreds of others that happen across the country. Many local merchants stay open late, galleries and special interest businesses in the area offer opening receptions or have short programs scheduled.
