It is that time of year and SCRC is having another Marchives Madness contest. Our current exhibition is called \u201cShowing Us Our Own Face\u201d: Performing Arts and the Human Experience. All of the items have been digitized to replicate the physical exhibit as shown. To view all the items on line, go to our Flickr<\/a> page. The Survey Monkey link is in the description at the top <\/strong>of the page. Voting for the top 24 ends March 8th<\/sup><\/strong>. You can vote in person as well. See me if you would like a physical ballot.<\/p>\n

We are doing things a little differently this year. Instead of having weekly prizes, there will only be one prize box at the end. You will have to participate 4 out of the 5 weeks to be eligible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cShowing Us Our Own Face\u201d: Performing Arts and the Human Experience will be on display until May 2020 in Fenwick Library, 2FL.<\/em><\/p>\n
