The weekend event may be called “Poetry Came in Search of Me“, but you must go to the Scarborough Arts’ The Bluff Gallery at 1859 Kingston Road in Toronto to enjoy this taste of arts and culture. Oh… except for one other venue; read on and decide where you want to go.
All these dates are in late September 2015, in case you’re reading this in an archive.
About “Poetry Came in Search…” 2015
Curator Anna Nieminen plans to showcase “a vibrant tradition of poetry that will hopefully promote the growth of Scarborough’s literary community” with readings and music from a variety of Canadian writers and other artists.
This poetry event in Toronto is just one of many forms of artistic expression under the Culture Days umbrella. Since 2010, this Canada-wide organization has hosted annual Culture Days events on the last weekend of September. Their goal is having “all Canadians in every community declaring ‘I Love Culture’ and making culture a daily habit.”
All these Poetry Came in Search… events, hosted by Scarborough Arts Council, are free. They do ask that you pre-register through EventBrite; each specific link is listed with its event.
