Artists in Action - Celebrate Westmont

May 17 & 18, 2008 from noon - 3

Westmont Friends of the Arts, together with the Westmont Special Events Corporation have gathered visual and performance artists together in the  downtown area near the Westmont train station.  Come see artists demonstrate,

perform  and create.  This is part of "Celebrate Westmont", which offers a variety of entertainment and attractions in Westmont’s downtown business district and includes a plant and flower sale, a car show, live music, an artists in action event, and more. 

I'll be there, along with my mosaic artist husband Jim.  I'll be typing up fresh, original, one-of-a-kind poems for only a dollar each!  All poems will be original and one-of-a-kind, never to be recreated again!  Hope to see you there.

• The last Sunday of each month The Westmont Area Friends of the Arts announces a new public poetry series to be held at 12:00 pm on the last Sunday each month at the Brewed Awakening Café, 19 W. Quincy Street. Each gathering will feature two established poets plus an open-mic time. Aspiring poets are invited to sign up at the event, first-come, first-served, for open-mic time.
