KEEP ON HOPPING:
Art is busting out all over. The DADA Gallery Hop, which started on Trade Street and is still thriving there, has spread over to Fourth Street, thanks to Jim Tedder at the Community Arts Cafe. The hops on both streets run from 7 to 10 p.m. Along with musical and visual artists, Exuro Entertainment (pictured) will perform an acrobatic balancing act enhanced with fire, at the cafe, 411 W. Fourth St. See them live, and see them on video at www.tinyurl.com/exuroent.

RAGS TO RICHES:
With thousands of records sold and millions of dollars made, singer-songwriter Corey Smith has come a long way from his Georgia roots -- all without the help of a major record label or radio play.

The folks at Winston-Salem's newest classical-dance school along with fitness maven Cortney Wilson will present dance demonstrations and fitness classes from 9 a.m.- noon.

HIGH DEF EVIL:
The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Horror gets the high-definition treatment this week with the Blu-ray debut of The Evil Dead. Director Sam Raimi's ultra-low-budget 1981 feature film debut holds up surprisingly well, telling the story of a group of college kids -- led by a very young Bruce Campbell (pictured), now one of the stars of USA Network's Burn Notice -- as they uncover a supernatural evil while vacationing in a spooky cabin in even more spooky woods. Things don't go well. Extras include featurettes and a new commentary track with Raimi, Campbell and producer Rob Tapert.

WILD TIMES:
Worried about your diet? Eat more shrimp -- as long as it's wild and not farm-raised. Wild Caught: The Life and Struggles of an American Fishing Town by Winston-Salem's own Matthew Barr makes a compelling case for buying "local." The wide consumption of cheap, imported farm-raised shrimp not only is unhealthy but also devastating to independent fishermen on the N.C. coast, according to the film. Find out more at 10 p.m. Friday on UNC-TV.
