Poetry read outside on a balmy summer afternoon – what could be better? This event brings together poets from the Emberlight National Poetry Contest to read their works, and celebrate the awarding of Poet Laureate honors to the top contestant. Woven into the afternoon will be music from mandolin player Fran Strong and guitar player Anthony Hanson-Lynn. Don’t miss this delightful Performance Infusion finale!
Emberlight’s Performance Infusion series provides audiences an understanding of what makes artists love and pursue their work, and what it takes to bring their ideas to life. The Infusions unite nature and craftsmanship by bringing accomplished artists and curious audiences together in the heart of Art in the Park. The 2022 Performance Infusions occur each Saturday through July and August at 1pm in the Miners Memorial Heritage Park.
