Poetry and Spoken Word with Denzel Johnson-Green

Purchase of a ticket to this event includes free Museum admission voucher!

Poetry has long been used to create a sense of unity, whether in the love poems of the 17th century or the rhymes of the hip-hop world. Join poet and author Denzel Johnson-Green in the time-honored tradition of utilizing spoken word and poetry to both raise awareness of, and develop mechanisms for addressing, the world around us. Topics of his prose will include race, working together in hyper-artisan times, St. Pete life, the pandemic, and many others.

Johnson-Green was recently seen in The Art of Healing – Performances on Tolerance and Acceptance at Florida CraftArt, and leads two spoken word nights in the St. Petersburg area. He is the creator of Neptune, a new online poetry and art magazine highlighting St. Petersburg artists.

Free for members, and $20 for not-yet-members. Senior and student discounts available.
Purchase includes free Museum admission voucher.
