Hello All,
For those of you who have already sent me your poems for the Fairfield-Suisun City Visual Art Association's "May Flowers" exhibit, thank you! There is still time for those who have not. I am receiving poems through June 18th at 5:00pm. (Please refer to attached flyer for submission details).
The Saturday, June 21st reception does begin at 3:00pm for those who would like to see the art and browse the gallery. The poetry reading will begin at 4:30, so if you aren't coming at 3:00, poets please arrive between 4:00 and 4:15.
You must be present for your poem to be read that evening.
Once all poems are in, I will notify the artists who had pieces written to and let them know --- hopefully they will attend the reading and you can meet each other.
I am excited for this collaborative time again! Each one is always unique!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Suzanne
