‘poetry @ the artel’ monthly open mic reading series

Tuesday, October 1, 2013 - 7:00pm

The Artel
205 Sydenham St
Kingston, ON

The Oct 1st reading will be the 54th in this monthly reading series.

A note from Bruce Kauffman, organizer: "As always, I do especially want to let you know that it is each and all of you that make this the wonderful and beautiful event that it is. Again, thank you :)"

For those coming to read/perform - The only assured time limit is 8 minutes. But prepare for longer if you like, because on nights with fewer readers that time limit will expand a couple minutes or so.

This reading series' mission - to be a reading held in an inviting, warm, accepting and acoustically sound "safe" space where the diversity of work, style, word and voice are welcome, always -- a comfortable space for poets/writers to read/perform, and for the audience to relax and enjoy.

Always held on the first Tuesday night of the month, this month's reading, scheduled for Tuesday, July 2nd, at the Artel, will run from 7:00 to 10:00pm. There will be a short intermission with light food and beverage provided.

This reading series is recorded for playback (with permission) on CFRC 101.9fm's "finding a voice". And this event also offers a two section display table -"the revolving free library" and "words for free/barter/sale".

The event is free, with all donations going directly to the Artel, and is an open event, so feel free to invite or bring friends as well.
