Ascension

Witness artists taking the spoken-word beyond the stage and directly effecting community with their art. Ascension,in essence, is a night of poets, musicians, and creative folks using their gifts in the interest of impacting under priviedged youth in the pursuit of higher education.

Proceeds from the night will be used to fundraise for the Precita GED Program (http://www.mncsf.org/youth.html)
