Writers Read is a monthly opportunity for an audience to come and listen to local writers in an intimate environment. Each second Wednesday of the month, three writers read from their work, followed by a discussion facilitated by Lindy Whiton. These discussions have been eye opening, touching, and inspiring. Audiences have left the venue ready to write.
Vitek Kruta and Jessica Gorman will present their collaborative project, In Between The Unseen. They will read their work while surrounded by images.
In Between the Unseen is a collaborative project that explores the roots of human nature and the unseen forces that drive us in our journey towards understanding our place in the Universe.
It was designed during COVID as a means of maintaining artistic connection during a time of isolation. It was displayed at the Gateway City Arts small gallery upon re-opening after COVID and has since been published as a book.
Jessica Gorman is an artist, poet, writer and photographer from Holyoke. Her art and poetry has been displayed several times in the former Gateway City Arts gallery. This is her second showing of this gallery and first publication.
