Join us for another amazing night of art! In the parking lot we will have a major Poetry Slam Contest hosted by Highways Performance Spaces and throughout the evening we will have VICC Entertainment who will light up the evening with video screens and projections of our very own present and past artists.
The event also features art installations, open-artists studios, gallery openings and an opportunity for visitors to be exposed to other art and social organizations referred to as the “18th Street Connect.” Food will be available for purchase and free drinks will be provided by Izze Sparkling Juice, Pama Pomegranate Liqueur, Hpnotiq, and Luna Azul Tequila.
As part of its 6th Annual Poetry Fest, Highways Performance Space, Leo Garcia, Artistic Director, partners with 18th Street Arts Center for an evening, where poets and performers go mano-a-mano, matching wits, smarts, timing and passion as they throw-down on issues of the day. Curated by E. Amato.
