We are proud to co-present this event with the Eden Mills Writers' Festival and the Fab 5. They have made it possible for Steven Heighton to share his poetry as part of this evening.

In the weeks leading up to the Festival, hear from our performers about their artistic processes and why they're so excited to take the stage (or studio or park) in Guelph! This is your opportunity to learn about what you're going to see from June 4-7!
