- Making Movies Film Series Comes To APT
April 11, 2013Auburn film series features funny, somber stories of New York
8 HOURS AGO • CARRIE CHANTLER, THE CITIZEN
Auburn movie lovers can see films shot entirely in New York state and talk with the filmmakers who made them when the "Making Movies" film series begins today at Auburn Public Theater. The series, now in its 10th year, is presented by the Schweinfurth Memorial Center, Auburn Public Theater and the Everett Charitable Trust.

- Arts an Economic Engine for Auburn
September 11, 2012Arts and culture by the numbers
by Andrew Roblee for The Citizen Newspaper
Throughout the Great Recession we have been bombarded with messages imploring us all to employ a certain kind of self restraint in our private and, of course, public spending.
