About
Not So Abstract is about accessing the arts — local and beyond. Old and new music, books, theatre, artists, arts festivals and events, gallery openings … and more! Patricia D’Cunha is the Associate Web Editor for the green-band news sites, based out of 680News.
Her background is in online and print journalism, but she’s always been a radio fan. She’s been writing about the arts since university at the school newspaper. After university, she contributed stories on music, theatre and arts festivals as a freelance writer for Metro News. Recently, she wrote feature stories on the 2007 TD-Canada Trust Toronto Jazz Festival for 680News.com, as well as other stories on travel and the arts.
