Calarts is a beacon of inspiration, which casts its light across time zones to Europe. When I need a shining example of how culture and creativity shape economies to share with our public sector paymasters back here in the UK I utter two syllables - CALARTS. From the latest world-beating developments at Calarts it looks as though those two syllables will be on my lips permanently into the future. (Drats! When will we Europeans catch up with you Californians!)

All the best,

John
