Publication Launch and Adults Read Their Childhood Writing Open Mic / Facilitated by Christine Negus
Doors at 7 PM / Free Admission / Cash Bar
FCG and Christine Negus invite you to scour the back of your closet in hopes of unearthing childhood journals, binder scribblings, incomplete 'novels', love notes, etc. We then request your presence at this event - bring your findings to this open-mic style reading. This evening will feature adults reading their childhood writings in front of their peers, friends and strangers. No pressure.
In conjunction with Christine Negus' exhibition, That's all Folks!, FCG will also be launching a publication with writing by Daniella Sanader.
