Highlights from letters & numbers: A Celebration and Painted Poem Auction:
Poetry and art lovers marveled at the beautiful broadsides displayed at Blue Fin Seafood Bistro on Saturday, January 24th. The house was full and the food was delicious: crab cakes, smoked trout with red onion jam and curry on fresh-baked croutons, pork dumplings, Blue Fin’s mesclun salad and more!
Doubling as auctioneer and comedian, actor/performance artist Paul Fisher generated many laughs with his reckless (yet apologetic) little jabs at artists and poets alike, while fielding bids from the crowd. All of the broadsides, which featured poems by Chax poets coupled with collage, photography, paintings and drawings by Tucson artists, were auctioned off to benefit both Chax and PoG (which the crowd came to know as kiss, the Gaelic translation of pog, according to Fisher).
Thank you to all who attended. The event was a success! |
