Welcome to My Renaissance – SHERI-D WILSON in Performance

March 15 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Welcome to My Renaissance is an artist-in-residency featuring Calgary playwright Eugene Stickland and friends.

SHERI-D WILSON in Performance

Eugene and Sheri-D will exchange a few poems but the real emphasis will be on the release of Sheri-D’s new opus maximus, THEONEIRONAUT 01. Maybe we’ll get a sneak-a-peak in advance of her official launch in April!
