This Christmas week, we revisit one of our favorite places: Plas Newydd Farm Arts Initiative, the organization transforming a historic 1,600-acre property in Ridgefield, WA into a sanctuary where conservation meets creativity. This unique program welcomes artists to engage with the land through workshops, walks, and community events - creating both art and connection in this beautiful setting.

In this season finale, Adriana Baer steps into the guest seat for a candid conversation with Jessica Geffen of The Sound Stage.

Columbia Dance’s annual Nutcracker isn’t the typical holiday fare. This uniquely Vancouver production reimagines Tchaikovsky’s classic through the lens of local history, from Fort Vancouver’s fur traders to the Chinook “moon woman” Ilchi. Artistic Director Becky Moore and company dancer Ruby Dyer share how the nonprofit’s mission to enrich lives through dance extends beyond the stage, building community, inclusivity, athleticism, rigor and artistry in every step.
