We're in the thick of Spare A Dime rehearsals and tech set-up at the Bok Theater.  In an homage to Federal Project Number One (the artists' initiative) during the song Changing Places, Spare A Dime's set animations celebrate the wide variety of civic posters created by WPA artists.  These two (at left), about healthy eating and the value of science are some of our favorites, illustrating the wide range of subject matter tackled by WPA posters.  They especially resonate with COSACOSA staff,  as we're in the midst of testing new art & biology and art & healthy eating curricula in North and South Philly middle schools!  (And it's ironic that Spare A Dime composer Kimberly Niemela was a chemist in her first career!
