Con·nect: An Evening of Music and Poetry with Nicholas Felder and Zan Johns

This Con·nect event will feature brief performances and dialogue with two extraordinary artists whose work connects with the Museum of Boulder’s current exhibition, “Proclaiming Colorado’s Black History”:

• Zan Johns, a poet, award-winning best-selling author and retired CU Boulder human resource leader who calls herself “a truth-telling vessel of grace, light and love.”

Following the performances, there will time for discussion among the artists, attendees, local art organizations and the event’s organizers. Autographed books by Zan Johns will be available for purchase.
