Words

Words of all types: writing, spoken word, storytelling and more! All genres welcome. Seek out a book club or writing group, mark your calendar for visiting authors, or find ways to tell your story live onstage. If you are specifically interested in poetry, check out our Poet Laureate page, too!

Laura Kaschmitter

All my works, whether paintings or digital pieces, are begun with only the intention of letting happen what wants to happen and that I will do my best to help it be the best it can be. Sometimes I have a subject that I am thinking about but that typically tends to get in the way of the flow. I work mostly in acrylic and watercolor on canvas. I do enjoy the multi-media effects and love trying out new mediums and combinations to see what happens when one encounters another. I have always loved science and nature and am able to combine them within my art. If I receive any inspiration, it typically comes from my experiences in the outdoors, forests, or even my backyard garden. My pieces are for all age groups as they rarely have anything that is directly recognizable as an actual object. Although like the Rorschach test, people tend to see what they want to see.

The Songwriters Laboratory – A Special SPL Fundraising Event

Come to the Art Spirit Gallery on November 5 at 7 p.m. for a unique opportunity to peek inside the mind of a songwriter. Dahveed Bullis will play original songs (and a few covers that inspired his writing) as he breaks down the structure, inspiration and flow of his process. If you ever wanted to compose your own song, this will be your chance as Dahveed will be writing a song live.. . with a little help from his friends (that’s you!). There will be art all around, and even a guest musician to share in the fun.
