Imagine a week or weekend in which every music venue hosted local musicians, every gallery hosted a local artist, every theatre had a production with local talent, and every restaurant and small business put their best foot forward to celebrate the arts and our own distinct culture. Sort of like a cross between Duluth's "Homebrew" festival and a "Fargo Days." I like the weekend of the FMVA Studio Crawl for this since it also coincides with NDSU Homecoming. Such an event could be an incredible regional draw for tourism, it would give locals something to celebrate and have fun with, and returning alums can see the vibrant community that they're missing out on.
