Presented by the student organization Sangai Asia, Asia Night performances take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 24 and 25, in Schaeffer Theatre, 305 College St. Admission to the Arts Crawl and Asia Night is open to the public at no cost.

Chase Hall, 56 Campus Ave., is a key focus of Arts Crawl activity. Memorial Commons, the former campus dining hall that has been refurbished as an event space, is the site for stage performances throughout the Crawl. Dance, theater, music and improv comedy are on tap there.
At the other end of the building, downstairs opposite the College Bookstore, the Little Room is the place to catch creative writing in action, hosted by poet and English faculty member Rob Farnsworth.
Bates’ a cappella groups — the Crosstones, the Deansmen, the Manic Optimists, the Merimanders and TakeNote — will represent this beloved campus tradition in two locations. Singing begins in the Fireplace Lounge in the new Commons, 136 Central Ave., at 4:20 p.m. The Crosstones will begin the final set for this location at 6:20 p.m.
The a cappella groups will also perform on the Olin Concert Hall stage, 75 Russell St., in alternation with Hired Help, the Steel Pan Orchestra, the Bates Jazz Band and other student musicians.
Also in the Olin Arts Center, student visual artists will be on hand in their studios to discuss work in progress for next spring’s Senior Exhibition. And the Museum of Art will be open, welcoming visitors to its just-opened winter shows:
“How to Make the Universe Right: The Art of the Shaman in Vietnam and Southern China,” an extraordinary selection of painted scrolls, masks and other objects used in shamanist ceremonies of ethnic minorities; and “Remix: Selections from the International Collage Center,” a wide-ranging survey of collages curated by the ICC and William Low, curator of the Bates museum.
Refreshments are key to the Arts Crawl experience: Enjoy chocolate, apple crisp, popcorn, hot chocolate and more.
