The Experience:
There's something rare about hearing a poet read their own work in a room built for wonder. For one evening, Imagine Museum's galleries become the backdrop for Norm Novitsky's words — a poet, filmmaker, and musician whose writing draws on love, family, and the people who move the world forward. His collection What's on my Mind pairs each poem with original illustrations by artist Emily Walet, created to accompany the verse. Come for the poetry; stay for the art that surrounds it.
Seating is limited for this intimate evening. Reserve your spot before tickets are gone.
