INT. BUNNY’S STUDIO. DAY.

Poet ONE speaks the beat poem below. Poet TWO punctuates with beat sounds at will, “Bop! Shabow! Whaaaaaaa.” Both punctuate the verses in between by snapping their fingers in time.

Feel the shoop at cSPACE Marda Loop,
Where creativity swirls, and passions stoop.
A Valentine’s bash, not just for two,
I Heart Arts, come and rendezvous.

On Thursday eve, February eight,
From five to nine, don’t hesitate.
Free spirits gather, all ages unite,
In the heart of the arts, bathed in neon light.

The Robin Tufts Trio, jazz sweet and divine,
Local artists groovin’, setting the sign.
Signature cocktails, Alberta’s crafty pride,
A sip, a swirl, on this artsy ride.

Exposed! On every floor, visuals unfold,
Exposure Photo Fest, stories untold.
Silent auction whispers, Marda Loop’s embrace,
Bid on delights, in this funky space.

So, join the beat of this artsy scene,
Where love for creativity reigns supreme.
Don’t miss the chance to play your part,
At I Heart Arts; the groove of your sweet heart.
