This show blends art, poetry, and community connection into one creative experience. The idea is simple but powerful:
-
Corks → the social and celebratory element (wine, mimosas, or sparkling beverages) that invites people to relax, share, and enjoy themselves.
-
Canvas → the visual arts, where painting, live art, and creative expression set the stage for inspiration.
-
Poetic Brunch → your signature touch, weaving in spoken word, storytelling, and performances that highlight love, resilience, and vulnerability.
Altogether, the event is about feeding both body and spirit — gathering people over brunch, drink, and art, while using poetry and painting as a space for reflection, conversation, and joy.
