Participants in the Poetry Reading on March 8 who read their original or non-original poem(s) (5 minute limit), will qualify to be entered into a raffle for a $50 prize. Recitations of poetry works by known Venice West Café and Venice poets are encouraged.

The mélange of local Venice artists, painters, photographers, musicians and poets will summon and celebrate the spontaneous and Pronto spirit that resounds on Dudley Avenue. 

In the tradition of the Venice West Cafe (the legendary Beat hang-out at 7 Dudley Ave, aka Sponto Gallery from 1984-2008), the Venice underground celebrates the liberation of creativity. The 9 Dudley location has been christened “Sponto Gallery” for this 2 week celebration.

Mixed media art show featuring local works of photography, projections, paint, installations and dance, all exploring the theme of life, beauty and reality. Produced and curated by Olivier Chatard and Venice Art Crawl's Nicole Muyingo.
