Doors open at 4:30PM and we encourage you to arrive early. Seating is limited.
Founded in January of 2016, Poetry Café Bellas Artes meets monthly, September through April. The all-volunteer community organization features local and visiting poets (established and emerging) sharing original work in a casual setting.
