Ancient City Poets Michael Henry Lee and PAM Jam Coordinator Chris Bodor will co-host this month’s community open mic on-line event. Share two or three of your polished poems or bust out some fresh ink from your notebook during Saint Augustine, Florida’s longest running open mic poetry event. Invite a friend or two or three to view the livestream on FB Live to cheer you on. Love, or our aversion to it, is in the air and all are invited to write words to that theme. The writing prompt is just a suggestion, and you are free to follow it or not. What is important , is that we get to know you and your artistic words.
NOTE: At 3:00 pm EST on Sunday, JAN 31, the FB Live feed for this reading will appear on the following site:

Concerti Dipinto: Artworks by David Ouellette
2021-01-29 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-28 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-27 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-26 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-22 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-21 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-20 13:00 - 16:00, 2021-01-19 13:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) and 4 more dates | St. Augustine Art Association, 22 Marine Street, St. Augustine, 32084
This exhibition of paintings is a visual expression of the human experience, finding inspiration in the tangible world, the ethereal realm of time and the potential of the future, through chance, or fate. The abstract forms, colors, textures and their relationships in the composition of these works is much like music, giving more of a sensation than a description. So the thought arose is that this presentation is a collection of painted concertos, or Concerti Dipinto.
David Ouellette received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Arts in Painting from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He taught at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, while exhibiting in the metropolitan Detroit area. David Ouellette moved to St. Augustine in 1981, and continued his career as an artist and professor of Fine Art at the Florida School of the Arts through his twenty-six year tenure. He is currently teaching Art History at the Flagler College ACE program.
