Milkcraters of the Moon Reading Series with Liz Howard
Hosted by UBCO Creative Writing and Inspired Word Café
Tuesday July 3, 7 to 10pm
Milkcrate Records, 527 Lawrence Ave., Kelowna
This is the 3rd reading in the M.O.M. Reading series, a collaboration between Kelowna non-profit arts organization The Inspired Word Cafe, and the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. The goal of the series is to foster community and coalition building between our local and institutional art communities by pairing notable Canadian authors from out of town with writers from our own community, as well as to provide a short open mic for other creators to share their work.
