Good day and happy World Wildlife Day.

The Arts Council of Greater Lansing’s pop-up art event returns to Old Town this evening. Arts Night Out, now a bimonthly event, brings local music, visual art and other performances to several Old Town locations. March’s installment of Arts Night Out includes over 15 locations, including tours at Craig Mitchell Smith’s glass studio, live music at Elderly instruments and an exhibition of Elisa Schmidt’s art at Sweet Custom Jewelry. 5-8 p.m. FREE. Old Town, Lansing (call or see website for participating locations and artists). (517) 372-4636, myartsnightout.com.

Ten Pound Fiddle pays tribute to an artist who has influenced popular culture and music for over 50 years with “The Times They Are a Changin’: Celebrating the Songs of Bob Dylan.” Tonight, several local artists take the stage to honor the influential songwriter. Jen Sygit, Roger Brown, the Dangling Participles and the Springtails are slated to perform, and local folksters Jim Hall and Cindy Morgan serve as hosts for the evening. 7:30 p.m. $18/$15 members/ $5 students. MSU Community School, 4930 S. Hagadorn Road, East Lansing. (517) 337-7744, tenpoundfiddle.org.

Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, whose research and testing of lead levels in Flint children helped prove that that city’s water had become poisonous, visits the Broad Art Museum today to discuss one of the museum’s latest exhibits. Hanna-Attisha will offer her unique perspective on “Beyond Streaming: A Sound Mural for Flint.” Coordinated by Chicago-based artist Jan Tichy, “Beyond Streaming” draws on the work of over 60 high school students in Flint and Lansing who helped document the water crisis through audio interviews. The resulting installation sends excerpts of these interviews through a web of copper pipes. 7-9 p.m. FREE. Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, 547 E. Circle Drive, East Lansing. (517) 884-4800, broadmuseum.msu.edu.
