I am so excited to be able to say that my store of choice – TARGET (or Targé as it is affectionately known) is helping make the arts available to EVERYONE by sponsoring happenings at museums, concerts in the parks, plays and exhibitions around the country. Take a look at what they have going on in YOUR area, and PLEASE remember how important it is to expose your children to the arts.
