Wednesday October 9, otherwise known as 
tomorrow night: We present Girls on Fire!
In cooperation with the fabulous VALA Eastside, a local non-profit organization connecting artists to artists, artists to the community, and the community to art–and Theatre Puget Sound, sponsors of Arts Crush, visual artist Michaela Eaves, poets Jeannine Hall Gailey, and Kelly Davio will be presenting an artistic collaboration titled Girls on Fire. There will be some readings of poetry by myself and Kelly, art display by Michaela Eaves, a little discussion of collaborating in art and poetry, and some interactive exercises in writing poetry and doing quick sketches for inspiration!
Come find us at 7303 164th Ave NE in Redmond Town Center for an evening of poetry, visual art, discussion, food, and artistic inspiration. Many thanks to VALA and TPS for their generous sponsorship! The fun gets started at 6pm.
