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.
