Carnegie Days is four-day annual arts festival which offers visitors of all ages great events that explore the role language plays in contemporary art. From Thursday, September 16 through Sunday, September 19, exhibitions, public art projects, performances, author’s readings, artist talks, film and video screenings, guided tours and hands-on workshops take place at the MacLarenArtCentre and throughout the city of Barrie.

This evening, Casa Cappuccino hosts a free event. Don't miss "Lend Me You Ear", open mic poetry and readings by published authors and local novice writers and poets. Under the guidance of the Society of the Spoken Word, the MacLarenArtCentre’s Teen Advisory Council has organized the event with and for their peers. This is a great opportunity to see and hear Barrie’s young poets and writers demonstrate their talents.

Society of the Spoken Word is a Laurentian@Georgian English Faculty based-group focused on bringing all writers—young and old, amateur and professional, casual and serious—together to share their poetry and prose.
