The Opera House Artists are the newest thing to hit Arcadia. They are a loosely amalgamated group of artists with different styles and backgrounds who have come to Arcadia to show their work and to help build the burgeoning art community of DeSoto County. They bring with them a new excitement, a new aspect to our town. They have plans for social gatherings that are sure to be intriguing events.

As a kick-off for the Opera House Artists’ first season, you’ll be meeting them one at a time in this column. The first Opera House Artist is Kathy Staron.
