SPONSORED: Beautiful/Decay At the age of 16, Amir Fallah and his friend Jay Littleton published Beautiful/Decay as a black and white photocopied “zine,” which has evolved into a full-color publication with over 45,000 subscribers. Their publication has become the cutting edge, go-to resource book for curators, creative directors, artists, and designers. But more than just a magazine, Beautiful/Decay is a concept that has transcended the printed page to curate art shows, launch an artist’s apparel line and various limited edition series, create branded books and develop event sponsorship programs. Fallah is also an artist in his own right and has exhibited his work at Cherrydelosreyes, LA Louver, and Rhyes Gallery. Amir Fallah lecture: Mon 4/7, 7PM Kulas Auditorium, 3rd floor, JMC Building, CIA, 11610 Euclid Avenue. No admission fee, open to the public. Info: 216-421-7000 or www.cia.edu/tomorrow.

SPONSORED: Kids Fly at No Charge! Pack up the family and head to the sunny skies because right now, kids 12 or under fly at no charge to Myrtle Beach aboard Southern Skyways, when accompanied by an adult. So if two adults are flying, that means two kids are going along at no charge! Your trip will begin at the family-friendly Akron-Canton Airport, where shorter lines and smaller crowds will send you off more relaxed and ready for fun. For tickets, just visit www.SouthernSkyways.com. But hurry, you’ve got to book by Wed 4/30. And, just think, with all the money you save, you’ll have plenty left over to invest in a shiny new pail and shovel for your children to get busy building those sandcastles!
