Spoken INK – Writing Through Art

Description

Please join us for a special Spoken INK on Saturday, June 15th from 7 PM – 9 PM at the Deer Lake Gallery to celebrate the works of Kathleen McGiveron and Fiona Tang with “Writing Through Art.”

Our featured poets will be sharing their poetry and prose inspired by these works, followed by an open mic for the audience to connect with the art. Following the Spoken INK tradition, we encourage an interactive evening for artists and audience to foster an appreciation of the exhibition and words coming together for a magical effect.
