Local arts organizations of all stripes suffered funding cuts this year. You can keep the scene afloat — and bring more color, music and live performance into your life — by helping to support your favorite arts organizations. Michael Witthaus talks to folks in the arts scene to find out how to pitch in. Above and on the cover, “Sassy Sarah Vaughan” by Darren Taylor, on display now at the Glimpse Gallery in Concord.

Also on the cover Nashua turns its downtown sidewalks into a life-sized coloring book (page 14). Milford celebrates the pumpkin — and the spooky season (page 18). And if you’re lucky, this may be a long weekend. So check out some live music. For ticketed events, see the Concert listings on page 30. For shows with local faves at area breweries and restaurants, see the Music This Week listing starting on page 27.
