    The School of the Arts has created an interactive Web site for  listing events and happenings. The site is named “Ester Knows,” after  the mother of the founder of the School of the Arts, Theresa Pollak. 

    Four categories – “shows,” “us,” “guests” and “elsewhere”  – appear on the main page, each with a scrolling slideshow of events  or news and an accompanying photo.  

    “Shows” is of course a place to find upcoming arts events on  and off campus. The “us” section features news about new faculty,  and awards or press given to VCUarts faculty, alumni or students.  “Guests” is where to find news about who the artists in residence  are in the various art departments, or who is just stopping by  campus to give a lecture or have a gallery show. “Elsewhere” is  information about the out-of-town shows or news about VCUarts  alumni, faculty or students.  

    Visitors to the site can subscribe to its rapidly changing content, or  “feed,” using a live bookmark application on a Web browser. Visitors  can also leave comments about any of the listed news and events.  

    To submit news or an event to be listed on the site, e-mail  artsevents@vcu.com.
