A Word Feast Friday, June 11 | 7 – 8:30 pm The Glen Arbor Arts Center hosts Feed Me!, an evening of poetry and prose about feeding the mind, body and spirit, on Friday, June 11, 7 pm. Feed Me! is part of the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s exhibition Food Is Art/Art Is Food, which runs May 28 – August 19 in the GAAC gallery. The event is free and open to the public. Poets and writers will performed or read their work outdoors before a live audience at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St. Glen Arbor. Each writer may read up to five minutes. No pre-registration is required. Poets will be added to the evening’s readers list on a first-come basis. Feed Me! is open to all writers and poets, both children and adults, of any experience or skill level.
