The Museum for Art in Wood presents Imaginary Friends

Join The Museum for Art in Wood for a night of poetry and magic with LindoYes. Imaginary Friends is a whimsical, poetic, magical event in which poet LindoYes explores friendships, romance, grief, and all the big feelings that come with adulting. He’ll also explore how our imagination impacts our reality. It is encouraged to arrive thirty minutes early to experience the exhibition before the event starts. Feel free to bring a friend, loved one, coworker, or neighbor to accompany you and enjoy the discounted pricing.

He has been featured in the Philly Weekly, Philadelphia Inquirer, Button Poetry, and Def Poetry Jam to name a few.
