The Christmas decorations are coming down and the nights are still long and cold.
All the more reason to get off the couch and burn off some holiday pounds enjoying some of the region's art happenings.
Our First Friday Arts Segment returns for the first time in 2017, taking stock of events ranging from musical theater to gallery displays.
And it is a listener-driven segment, composed entirely of phone calls from around the region plugging events in the coming weeks. Those go to 800-838-3760. Listen for details or call and add them.
