On Tuesday, May 25, 2011, artSMart celebrated its 12th birthday! Can you believe I've been handling all those words for all these years? That’s 4,377 days (taking in leap years) and, on an average of loading three stories per day, that's 13,131 stories. Taking it further, if an average story is about 250 words, then that’s 3,282,750 words – over three million!!
artSMart celebrated its birthday in excellent pro-active style at a meeting where Durban supporters of the National Arts Festival held an informal get-together with the NAF Director Ismail Mahomed to formulate a programme called Festival Wires.
Based on my Live Wires initiative, the idea is to get a stronger KZN representation of performers and audiences to Grahamstown.
Ismail Mahomed honoured the occasion by giving artSMart a bunch of flowers which sent it into blushing confusion. No wonder I couldn’t get online that night. And I blamed Telkom! - Caroline Smart (Editor)
