Poet Jessica Otto at 360, April 5th

It's hard to say just how Jess Otto shapes words into poetry. Undoubtedly, she plays with our senses. Her poems can be touched, smelled and tasted. They are elemental, but far from elementary. Sometimes her images reveal themselves gradually over time and sometimes they streak across the sky like comets.

Jessica will be sharing her poetry with us this Saturday evening from 7 to 8:30. You are invited to hear her and piece together her magic for yourself. It's free and open, so come support spoken word in Little Rock. This is also the last chance to view 'Fascination,' featuring the art of Anna Tanner and Kelley Naylor Wise.

Great Show Last Night

What a pleasure it was to have S.J. Tucker and Heather Dale perform at the gallery last night. Their two voices weave magic, not to mention Ben Deschamps, who played guitar blisteringly.

Thanks go out to their loyal fans, some of whom drove many miles to attend. 

I went to IndyGoGo today and saw Heather's Celtic Avalon project is moving along nicely.  She's trying to get off the ground a multi-artist show that tells the legend of King Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table through music. There is to be a DVD, as well as a touring schedule and a program for school outreach.  Heather has five days to raise a little more than $7000. You can help her by sending on as little as $5. Rewards await you and Heather both by going here.

They did this one last night. Chilling.
