Event Details

Whisper & Shout will take place at the Contemporary Art Center beginning at 8 pm. Featuring hosts Ryan Lowry and Whitney Jensen with DJ YV, water and soda are available at the bar and attendees may bring their own food and drink or bring in food and drink from the the Rhythm Kitchen.  Featured Poet: Wesley Frazier-Keys.  Admission is $5 for members, $8 for the public and $3 for poets* and are available in advance at https://309tix.com *Purchasing a Poet Ticket is a commitment to share your poetry on stage. If you don't plan to read, then don't purchase a poet level ticket. Wesley Frazier-Keys is a native of the south side of Chicago and a paraprofessional educator at Art In Motion Creative Arts School. Poetry and spoken word have led him all over the country to teach and compete. He is the 2015 Chicago Grand Slam champion and the 2015 Southern Fried Poetry Festival, finishing 10th out of 200 poets. Again in 2018, he was the Chicago Grand Slam champion and coached the team representing Chicago at the National Poetry Slam. Competing once again in the 2021 Southern Fried Regional Poetry Festival, Wesley was able to finish 8th out of almost 250 other poets. Writing and performing became a passion for Wesley at a young age and he cannot wait to see where the Creator leads him on his spoken word journey.
