| Link | Faster Than Sound: Jackie Venson Solos |
| Description | Local blues hero goes solo to cut costs, city polls on use of $12 million earmarked for the arts, and the U.S. State Dept. blocks Palestinian artist Dirar Kalash from the Fusebox Festival |
| Event |
In an online statement, Fusebox noted: "Considering our current government's practice of unchecked discrimination against visitors from multiple countries, including Palestine, it is very clear that Dirar's country of origin played a major factor in the decision not to grant him a visa." The rejection cuts Kalash's plans for projects with stateside artists. Palestinian-American Mike Khoury, a former Kalash collaborator, fills in the performance spots on April 17 & 18 at the Museum of Human Achievement.
