Spoken Word Salon is an open podium for poets and storytellers of all styles, ages, and abilities! Doors open at 5:30 so you can get your name in the hat to read and then enjoy the gallery until the show starts at 6:00. We will draw names to determine the order. Each reader will have approx. 5 min to share their work, and at 7 pm, we'll introduce our special guest. Afterwards, we'll continue drawing names until 8 pm.
$5 suggested donation per person helps us continue this fun monthly community event. Water, light snacks, and wine provided by Pamo Valley Winery Tasting Room is included.
Contact your host Cathryn@ListenLocalRadio.com with questions.
Listen Local Radio and The Art Center of Ramona are proud to present a new listening room series called GALLERY SESSIONS. These intimate concerts take place in the art gallery inside 2Create Gallery, our generous sponsor, in Ramona at 438 Main Street.
Limited to just 30 guests, the show is seated and tickets are $30 and include a glass of Mermaid Valley Wine and tray passed appetizers from 5pm to 6pm, giving you time to enjoy the gallery before the show begins. The show is all ages but this is a "listening environment" so young children might not enjoy the experience. Tickets are on sale now, get yours here! Contact Cathryn@ListenLocalRadio.com with questions or for press.
