Women and Children First Wants You
We received the following press release. I’m passing it along as is because that’s how much I heart this bookstore:
Women & Children First Bookstore in Chicago is looking for provocative lesbian-identified queer artists and scholars to present their work at our new, monthly Sappho’s Salon series. We’re looking for poets, writers, spoken word artists, comedians, visual artists with slides who can talk about their work, queer academics with provocative lectures, queer burlesque performers, musicians, performance artists, filmmakers and / or others we haven’t thought of. Sappho’s Salon will occur from 7 to 9 on the third Saturday of every month. Touring artists: let us know if a Sappho’s Salon will coincide with your travels through the Chicago area. Pay based on at-the-door donations and pass-the-hat (no guarantees), and permission to sell your swag. If you are interested in performing, contact Kathie B. at Pressgirl at Ameritech dot net (with attachments or links if relevant). Send demo CDs and DVDs to Kathie (Sappho’s Salon) c/o Women & Children First, 5233 N. Clark St. Chicago, IL 60640. No phone calls. Please include artist bio, including past publications, shows, performances, accomplishments and so on.
