storySPARK

storySPARK celebrates exciting and provocative stories — yours, mine, everybody’s. You’ll witness stories that are told through words or pictures, stories that are intensely personal or boldly political, stories that are sensual –that get you hot and bothered, stories that hit you in the gut.

Friday, hear the stories behind the music of some of your favorite musicians.
Saturday in the park, enjoy readings of short stories, poetry and non-fiction. And you can’t miss “storySPARK After Dark” Saturday night, showcasing erotica in story and art form.
Whatever story you are looking for (or have to tell), it might be showcased at storySPARK.
