Taking Outside Art Outside... Poetry Summer Camp Is Here!
FRIDAY AUGUST 25
Opening Night Welcome Performance and Kick Off
7pm at the HIVE
Welcoming performance with Montreal poet Ian Ferrier and local performers: Andreas Kahre, Alex Varty, Jill Talbot, P.C. Vandall, and Hilary Peach, and special guests.
Ian Ferrier's trademark is a transporting blend of whispered and spoken word and electric guitar. His performances are a film for the interior of your mind, some images engraved, others appearing at the edge of consciousness--all riding on a live soundtrack of multiple guitars and sounds.
SATURDAY AUGUST 26
