Women Out Loud! - Friday, September 25
FEATURING VALERIE PELL!
Friday, September 25
7 to 9 PM
Insight Arts presents Women Out Loud! an open mic for women and women-identified writers/poets/performers that happens every fourth Friday of the month, 7-9 pm at the Center for New Possibilities on 1545 W. Morse. Women Out Loud! is a venue where women can spit fiery words in a nurturing space, and men are welcome to applaud and cheer.
On September 25, Women Out Loud features Valerie Pell. Valerie grew up in Sacramento, California despising her syrupy dance teacher but loving her inimical cat. Since then, she has changed all allegiances, becoming a dog person, a writer, and a Chicagoan. From her cluttered home office in Albany Park, Pell prepares for the classes she teaches at Malcolm X College, writes various odds and ends that she publishes here and there, and procrastinates on finishing the second draft of her first novel, Salem's Truth. In her spare time, she grows a hodgepodge of vegetables in a minuscule garden and cooks them in a suitable kitchen.
Come and share your words, and/or just take a break from the week’s work woes and listen to fabulous women writers/performers read/do spoken word/sing. Open mic starts at 7 pm and is followed by the featured writer. $5 suggested donation, $3 for open mic participants.
The CENTER FOR NEW POSSIBILITIES located at 1505 W Morse Avenue, is a space coordinated by Insight Arts, a contemporary arts organization dedicated to increasing access to cultural work that supports progressive social change. Our unique organizational model allows us to engage in community based, regional and national work.
