As fun as it can be — and with a headliner like Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, Springfest promises to be a blast this year — the University Programs Council event can also tend to be overwhelming. With dozens of student musicians and other local performers on the lineup, it’s difficult to decide who to see and who to skip.

Lucy Dacus is an artist who takes her time. After her 2016 debut “No Burden,” an indie rock album which enjoyed enormous acclaim, fans of the new artist wouldn’t hear from her again for a while. Her next effort, “Historian,” was only released March 2, having been teased by excellent singles such as “Night Shift” and “Next of Kin.”

Lucy Dacus has a lot in common with the average University student. For starters, there’s her age. At just 22, Dacus would pass for a fourth-year.

In a community known for both its musical diversity and musical abundance, forming a new band or group can seem like a near-futile task. This is doubly true if the formers of a group are all students, whose busy lives surely make a musical career on the side much more daunting. Such groups can exist for months without getting a gig at even the smallest of venues, struggling to find relevance in an area close to saturation with local artists and performers.

Whatever else it was, 2017 was a banner year for Charlottesville’s arts scene. The city was host to some musical and entertainment events of a huge magnitude, most of which were unexpected until just a few weeks before the fact. Will 2018 hold much of the same? In some cases it’s too soon to tell — for example, the Virginia Film Festival was omitted from this list since its late-fall schedule is far from being made public — but Charlottesville is already a community based in the arts, and the calendar for the upcoming year already looks promising. Here are a few of the standouts.

“Not everything I do is about my struggle as a woman. It just so happens to be something I understand a little bit, because I didn’t have any other option.”

The Virginia Film Festival is a prestigious event, a claim made especially true by this year’s impressive line-up. With over 150 films, special guests like Spike Lee and timely film categories such as Race in America, any given movie on the schedule had better be spectacular, or else it will fall into obscurity.

The first thing Spike Lee did after walking onstage Saturday was to request a moment of silence from the audience — “for Heather and her family.”

College can be an incredibly stressful time for students — they have to develop time management skills in order to balance schoolwork, extracurriculars and social lives. That being said, it may be surprising to learn that so many students at the University are aspiring — even moderately successful — musicians.

For a University not known for having packed audiences at theatrical events, the notion of a performance selling out every night is impressive, to say the least. The notion of a performance selling out every night, weeks in advance, is almost inconceivable — but still, the Black Monologues exist.

The University initiated a two-year long celebration of its Bicentennial Friday night with a launch event held on the Lawn, which featured speeches and musical and artistic performances. The event also featured a telling of the University’s history since its founding through animated projections on the Rotunda.

In the past few months, Charlottesville has experienced jarring juxtapositions between political turmoil and massive artistic responses. The city was subjected to fatal white nationalist rallies — and weeks later, a larger-than-life, star-studded benefit concert was performed in retaliation, along with the Virginia Film Festival’s announcement that Spike Lee, one of the leading black voices in entertainment, would be visiting Charlottesville.

The persistence of any institution for two centuries is something worth celebrating. When the institution in question is a place of learning as prestigious and hallowed as the University of Virginia, the celebration is guaranteed to be bountiful and continuous.

In a press conference held Tuesday at The Jefferson Theater, the first part of the Virginia Film Festival’s 2017 schedule was announced along with several special guests.

Scott Stadium was the site of the Concert for Charlottesville Sunday, Sept. 24 — an event the magnitude of which the city had never experienced. Billed as a benefit concert to help Charlottesville heal after the events of Aug. 11 and 12, the “evening of music and unity” was organized by Charlottesville natives Dave Matthews Band and featured such names as Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande — not to mention the enigmatic “special guests.”

Charlottesville — once one of the “happiest cities in America,” recently the site of fatal white nationalist rallies and now the go-to talking point for broader arguments about race relations and radicalized politics in America. The city has gone through enormous changes in less than a year, and with these changes the community has been tried and tested to the extreme. Rather than simmer down as time passes, stress levels of Charlottesville residents and University students threaten to boil over.

If there is any one line from a Spike Lee movie that is most relevant to Charlottesville’s current state, it’s Mister Señor Love Daddy’s (Samuel L. Jackson) plea in “Do the Right Thing” — “Yo! Hold up! Time out! TIME OUT! Y'all take a chill! You need to cool that s—t out!”

After sliding in next to me at a booth at Miller’s Downtown, one of the first things Louis Smith did was remove his cap, showing off his curly hair.
