1. Mark your calendars! April 7 through April 15 is Boulder Arts Week! Offering murals and art installations to dancing and music, this week will be brimming with creative activity. On April 8 from 11 am-5 pm, check out a DJ alley event hosted by Downtown Boulder and Pedestrian Shops to kick off the Street Wise Arts mural walking tour which will be taking place in the alleyway next to Pedestrian Shops on the 1400 block. Dance to fun music provided by two local DJ’s, then take the Street Wise tour to enjoy insights. Raise a glass with one free pint at Mountain Sun Pub 7 Brewery after the tour ends. Sounds like a great time. See you there! (Boulder Downtown)
2. It's time to start thinking about summer employment. The Boulder JCC has a number of positions available. If you are over 18 and interested in working with kids there are some great opportunities.
