Come join us for an evening of creativity and expression at Art Exchange on 19th June. Essex Book Festival, University of Essex, Waxes Lyrical Chelmsford and Poetry Plus invite you to JOIN THE ART:UP – a new collaborative poetry project.

A year of poetry events around Essex begins with this reading and open mic night, suitable for seasoned verse-spitters and people who have never shared their work before. Local poets Ethan Stewarts and babalonanon will warm up the floor, and eco-protest-performance poety Linden McMahon will close the show, celebrating the diversity of voice in our Essex communities!

The event is free, but ticketed. Come early to be sure of an open mic spot!
