Suffering for one's art is a cliche because it's true. From dancers, who torture their toes until they swell and bruise, to visual artists, who live on canned beans because all their money goes to art supplies, the fact remains: Making art ain't easy. But when the compulsion to create overrides a desire for creature comforts, what's an artist to do? Lucky for audience members, the reward of suffering is experience, and this fall is busting out all over with cultural experiences, from The Producers at PAC to the Andrew Wyeth exhibit at the Mint. So CL has put together this handy-dandy Fall Arts Preview to help you plan the season. Mark your calendars now! Order those tickets today! Don't let all sweat and toil go to waste. And to all you suffering artists out there, just remember: Pain passes, but beauty remains.
