Storytelling at The Exchange: “Face Value”

Portraiture has captivated viewers for centuries. In addition to likeness, portraits have the ability to convey mood, personality, and complex emotions.​ How can you make a portrait in words? Or, looking at the theme in its colloquial way, do you have a story to tell about something that you took at face value and then learned differently about it?

You can share through spoken word, in prose or poetry, or song — no prior experience necessary, but we would like to talk to you ahead of time about what you plan to present (and please, keep it no more than PG-13): Please call or e-mail to sign up — 570-317-2596 or Exchange@ExchangeArts.org.

Limited audience seating in the Exchange Gallery available: Please call or e-mail to make a reservation if you can — 570-317-2596, Exchange@ExchangeArts.org. Donations accepted at the door — $10 suggested, anything accepted.

We will record the event for later upload to YouTube.
