β€œThe last year has reminded us how the power of the arts can bring our communities together and lift our spirits,” Chad Herzog, executive director of Arizona Arts Live said in a news release. β€œWe are hopeful that the University community will find joy and unexpected experiences next week with BANDALOOP.
