THE AMETHYST & AMBER GRIOT’S GALA: A Celebration of Newark Poetry

“….come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to K*ll me

and has failed.” —Lucille Clifton

EvoluCulture invites you to choose joy as poetic justice on Friday June 28th, from Life in the Arts (LITA) in the historic Kruger Scott Mansion.

The Amethyst and Amber Griot’s Gala celebrates poetry as an essential language in the City of Newark—one that is a catalyst to advance social change while holding space for its practitioners and supporters in hopes

of living freely and cleanly.

The event will include performances from selected poets and poetry lovers in the Newark arts community, including Margie “Mia X” Johnson, Ameerah Shabazz-Bilal , J Read,

Dr. Helena D. Lewis , Ysabel Gonzalez, and the EvoluCulture Team.
