If you didn't catch a performance of the Russian-American Kids’ Circus in February, you're in luck: They've got shows in March too. They're going to be at the Franklin Opera House in Franklin, N.H. on Saturday, March 10, at noon and 2 p.m., and at the Emelin Theatre in Mamaroneck, N.Y. on Sunday, March 18, with shows at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Here's March:

From now until March 6, the Wisconsin Union galleries in Madison, Wisc. is hosting an exhibit of Soviet propaganda posters. I love this kind of art, both for what it reveals about the Soviet Union and the ability of marketers to change the way we experience the world.

On Thursday, March 1, Russian writer and documentary filmmaker Marina Goldovskaya will be appearing at Village Books in Pacific Palisades, Calif. 7:30 p.m. She also heads the documentary film program at UCLA.

On March 9 and 10, the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe. N.M. will feature demonstrations by four Russian artists, including quilter Elena Chirkova. I don’t know about you, but I brake for quilt shows.

The 19th century artist and designer Fedor Solntsev is the subject of a show at the New York Public Library that begins March 2. There will also be a curator's lecture on the show on March 12 from 6-7 p.m.

The Moscow Chamber Orchestra will be performing works by Shostakovich, Mozart and Boccherini at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma, Wa. on March 16 at 8:30 p.m.

Traditional Russian artist and lecturer Marina Forbes will lead class in painting Matryoschka, the traditional nesting dolls at the Hanover Community Center in Hanover, N.H. on March 18, pre-registration is required by March 14.

And one art venue of note that has Russian works on view in March and all year long: The The George Riabov Collection of Russian Art at the The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum in New Brunswick, N.J. It features over 1,100 works of Russian art from the 14th through the 20th centuries. The museum also has an ongoing show on Russian avant-garde artists. I think I'm due for a road trip.
