I am writing to inform you of an upcoming event:
"Celebrate the Arts Festival" on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at Storrs Community Church, 90 Tolland Tpke (Rt 195) in Coventry, Ct. from 10-4. We are seeking area artists to display their work (8x8 space $30 which will be donated to charity). We are also seeking to have life performers scheduled thru out the day (mime, POETRY READINGS, live music). If anyone in your community is interested in doing a reading, please contact me:
susanmitchellcollin@gmail.com . I will be requesting a sample of poetry be sent to me by e-mail.
We have just built a large church that can accomodate approx. 100 artists so this may be a very large event, depending on artist response. It is free to the public. If there is another way you would prefer me to contact your members, pls. let me know.
thank you so much,
Susan Collin
