Description
It was standing-room-only for every single one of First Person Arts’ notorious Story Slams in 2007, and now First Person Arts is bringing that same energy and enthusiasm to a new series of memoir and documentary-arts events: First Person Salons at the Gershman Y. On the second Wednesday of each month, starting February 13th, First Person Arts will showcase new work and works-in-progress presented by the artists themselves to an audience eager to get an inside look at the creative process. Writers, photographers, documentary film-makers, painters and sculptors will put both their work and their methods on display, demonstrating how they turn real-life drama into compelling works of art.

First Person Arts is accepting applications from artists on a rolling basis at salons@firstpersonarts.org. You can find a Salon overview and application at www.salons.firstpersonarts.org.
