Panel discussion on independent publishing followed by a live performance preview of select “Pile Driving in C Minor” contributors.

This upcoming book (available late Fall 2006) is a celebration of the artists who have made Art House Productions what it is today: those who share the gift of their talents with our community through poetry, song and art.

Context is a new series featuring the movers and shakers who produce alternative publications about the arts. The goal of the series is to investigate the art and culture or our times from a literary point of view.
