ArtsQuest<br />
Celebrates Life<br />
By Candace Gerhardt<br />
If artists reflect different facets of our<br />
lives, the way diamonds reflect light, then<br />
Bismarck State College’s ArtsQuest is a gem<br />
for our community. ArtsQuest is a celebration<br />
of music, visual art, theatre, film and literature<br />
running throughout April and into May on<br />
BSC’s campus.<br />
Talented artists from the college and community,<br />
as well as nationally and internationally<br />
known guest artists will gather to present<br />
their art, most of which is free to the public.<br />
Don’t miss the kick-off musical April 1-5,<br />
“A Man of No Importance,” a weaving of Irish<br />
music and story of a middle-aged bus conductor<br />
and director of local plays, who wrestles<br />
with friendship and temptation in conservative<br />
Dublin in the 1960s.<br />
Barbara Jirges, a BSC art history instructor and<br />
chairperson of the festival, says other highlights<br />
include Oni Buchanan bringing poetry to life<br />
in her piano concert on April 17 in the Sidney<br />
J. Lee Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. and guitarist<br />
David Burgess, recognized internationally by<br />
musicians and critics as a virtuoso, performing<br />
May 1 in the auditorium at 7:30 p.m.<br />
Jirges has a whirlwind of recommendations.<br />
She’s excited about the film festival,<br />
student art displays, readings from “Figments<br />
of Imagination” and “Off-the-Wall”—student-<br />
