Monta May, director of web communication, will read her essays on transformation, transition, and transcendence during the Winona Arts Center’s 3rd Thursday event Oct. 18. The event is planned for 7 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the center, located at 5th and Franklin streets. Admission is a $3 to $5 sliding entrance fee. May regularly writes about art, life, death and transformation in her online journal, “Always Swimming Upstream” at http://montagael.blogspot.com.
Open-mike showtime follows May's performance. Community members are invited to bring images, tales, and songs that brought them to a different place, a different space, or a different sense of being. Bring your poems and stories to this special open mike. You’re invited to read from original work or any favorite work.
