Opening of the Drawing Exchange show - for two years, Ramsey Arnaoot mailed drawings to trade with artists around the world. This is an opening of the drawings he received.

Featured artists include: Irana Douer, Joe Grillo, Billy and Laura Grant, Kinya Hanada (Mumbleboy), Julian Gatto, Maximo Pedraza, Martin Legon, Anita Montecucco, Max Galyon, and Mike Ball.

Note - this is a continuing project. If you would like to trade drawings with me, please let me know and we can set it up. I will be in the Middle East for the next year at least, so it might take me a bit to get settled, but I will definitely be continuing the exchange.

The Pen16 Club continues - Pen16 is a collaborative drawing club which meets the 16th of every month. Pens are encouraged and pencils are not - club members are encouraged to trust in the fallibility of their own trembling hands.

The Poetry Reading Club offers a window into the souls of those around you, as well as your own. There is one rule at PRC: everyone MUST read at least one poem/piece of prose. Whether it is a great work from the canon of those deceased, a modern day musing from the living-learned, or a trifle that you, yourself would add to the eternal journal, all are welcome. Coffee will be served. Tuesday, March 18. 7:00pm.

After the Poetics, there will be performances by Barcelona's Les Aus and Bestia Ferida, as well as Philadelphia's Little Ocean. Music Begins around 9:00PM.
