About
The Siren is a digital publication devoted to observing Waitsburg arts and culture, celebrating creatives of all stripes in our community. Named for both the quirky noon-time air raid siren that blares every weekday to satisfy a community’s nostalgic need for primitive timekeeping, as well as the irresistible siren call that our small burg holds for those seeking an experience less ordinary, we endeavor to be a useful resource and historical witness for arts and culture in our area.

ABOUT THE SIREN
The Siren is a digital publication devoted to observing Waitsburg arts and culture, celebrating creatives of all stripes in our community. Named for both the quirky noon-time Sterling M-5 air raid siren that blares every weekday to satisfy a community’s nostalgic need for primitive timekeeping, as well as the irresistible siren call that our small burg holds for those seeking an experience less ordinary, we endeavor to be a useful resource and historical witness for arts and culture in our area.
ARTS + CULTURE — WHAT Exactly DOES THAT MEAN?
The Siren defines arts and culture as described in Wikipedia’s Outline of Culture page. In short, it takes a broad view of creative activities including all arts (visual, performing, culinary, decorative, horticultural), artisan trades, literature, the humanities, entertainment, celebrations, community events, and tourism.
