Hidden beneath its pristine white lab coat, Hopkins has a vibrant art community that's busy mucking around, getting its hands dirty, and generally causing a ruckus. And now more than ever, arts are breaking out of the hushed background and bursting onto the daily scene of campus life.

Behind you is only forest, and in front nothing but a big, bright, beautiful movie screen. A cartoon hot dog dances hand-in-hand with a box of popcorn across the glowing expanse of the screen and overhead stars twinkle as red airplane lights blink in the night sky. Cars crunch over a gravel driveway in search of a good spot and parents sit on lawn chairs huddled under blankets while children -- comfy in their pajamas -- snooze in the backseat. Somewhere a couple is making out and a just few yards away French fries are sizzling in oil and cotton candy is being spun into sweet, pink clouds. Out on the main road, cars zip by heading somewhere or other in a hurry, but you haven't got a care in the world; your seat is in the recline position and all you can hear is the upbeat '60s-era jingle extolling the merits of the snack bar coming in over your speakers.

Admittedly a review of a movie sequel should make a few references to the original. And I did see The Whole Nine Yards, the precursor to The Whole Ten Yards but I can't really say a whole lot about it. The thing is, I fell asleep when I watched it, but I got the general idea.

The Johns Hopkins Film Festival, a three-day event founded in 1998 by Hopkins undergraduates and still completely run by students, makes it way onto the big screen in Shriver for the sixth year all this weekend.

Angie Aparo is not a girl. He is a boy. But he still sings real pretty. And sounds a helluva lot like a lot of American music greats. He is a potent cocktail of Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and, strangely, Al Green -- all mixed briskly and served chilled.

Eminent painter and former Hopkins art instructor, John Hull, will be on the Homewood campus Monday, March 29 to give a presentation entitled "American Narrative Visions." The slide talk is the opening event to commemorate the Homewood Art Workshops' 30th Anniversary celebration, a milestone year for the arts at Hopkins, especially in light of their new home in the Mattin Center and the Homewood Arts Programs' first-ever faculty art show, held back in November of this school year. And who better to celebrate the arts at Hopkins than someone who knows first-hand how important they are here?

When Charlie Dodson bought the old Parkway Theater in the fall of 2002, he knew it would be a fixer-upper. Still, he felt that the time and money were worth it, because he would be saving an historical building from falling into complete ruin while at the same time providing a new venue for the arts community in which to thrive.There was no way he could have anticipated the obstacles he was about to face.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the latest bit of genius to be spun out of the warped mind of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, the mastermind behind such films as Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. Directed by Mike Gordry, who also shares writing credits, the film explores typically Kaufman-esque themes of unconsciousness but also delves into the nature of human relationships in a way that Kaufman has never done before.

If you've never seen a Raoul Dufy painting, get ready to drool. The Evergreen House, a stately butter-yellow Italianate mansion owned by the Johns Hopkins University and located just down Charles Street near Loyola's campus, recently reinstalled its collection of mouthwateringly gorgeous original Dufy watercolors which had been on hiatus for almost a year.

There are a lot of things that come with being a Hopkins student. Everyone asks you if you're going to be a doctor, you get to take five classes each semester instead of the four that your friends at most other colleges do, you become pretty street smart about walking around a big city at night, and if you're lucky, at the end of it all you'll get a piece of paper with a stamp and a signature saying you made it through. But there is one more thing that comes with being a member of the Hopkins community and it is something that is somehow ingrained in every student, alum and faculty member here regardless of race, pedigree or creed: pure, unbridled hatred for Princeton and the University of Maryland, our men's lacrosse team's biggest rivals.

For a play set in late 19th century Norway, A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen has surprisingly relevant themes and familiar character types that help the production translate easily into modern day American life.

I tried really hard to come up with a catchy lead for this article, but I just couldn't. You see, there is no clever, oblique way to say it. So I'll just be direct: Nancy Linden is a phenomenal artist and you would be remiss to let her current show close without a visit.

I will pick up and read pretty much anything that is ink and paper. For example, I can't not peruse the weekly circular when I walk into Super Fresh. When I eat my breakfast, I read the back of the cereal box. And all those piles of free leaflets, pamphlets, flyers, neighborhood news rags, independent lit mags, event opening postcards and even automotive and real estate classifieds that can be found stacked near the doors of local places like Eddie's grocery, distributed through the halls of campus buildings and heaped in the automatic newsstands on 31st and St. Paul are a compulsion for me. I always rescue one from each pile. I have to. I'm powerless to the temptation of the printed word.

The Passionfish Gallery, an empty storefront on the Avenue in Hampden until co-owners Shawn Baron and his mother, Sandie Castle, resurrected it in late 2003, now finds itself host to a photography exhibit that chronicles the corrosion of once-vibrant neighborhoods and buildings not unlike its former self.

Every weekday morning, the Hopkins Med Center shuttle sidles up to the curb behind Shriver Hall on the Johns Hopkins University campus. There, waiting in single-file, stands a line of students. They shiver, read textbooks and drink coffee in the brisk morning air. The bright yellow school bus that picks them up is almost always filled to capacity these mornings. Most are students going to work in the vast network of labs at the University's East Baltimore medical campus. But there are some students who seem a bit out of place. They tote unwieldy musical instruments and large portfolios that stick out like neon billboards advertising their destinations. These are the students who take cross-registered music and art classes at other Baltimore schools like the Peabody Conservatory and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

Don't make the mistake of referring to Richard Sober's artwork as a hobby. At the recent opening of the Passionfish Gallery in Hampden where his work is on display, I did and was swiftly corrected. "It's like eating, it's a part of life," the artist said.

Ayun Halliday, author of independent "zine The East Village Inky and The Big Rumpus, a guide to modern mothering, appeared at Atomic Books in Hampden last Friday to give the first in a tour of book readings promoting her latest effort, No Touch Monkey.

When you think of surf music, you probably think of California, Hawaii, or some other equally sun-drenched region. It used to be an invention of purely West Coast origins, but since its beginnings in the 1960's, however, surf music has migrated East. Local surf guitar group, The Diamondheads is living proof that surf can thrive in the city too.

Thirty years ago next spring, the Homewood Arts Workshops were founded. Today is the first faculty arts show. The arts have come a long way here at Hopkins, and this is another milestone in their history.
