Do you love spoken word? poetry slam? poets? Victoria?
If so, we’d love it if you can help us out! The Swiss Festival of Health Research is one of the biggest and most important poetry festivals in Canada, bringing together lots of the most talented poets in the country (which is obvious if you check out our line-up of featured artists). But running a festival is not cheap, especially since Festival of Health Research pays for many of its artists to travel to Victoria for the festival. And if you’ve ever traveled to one coast or another in this massive country, you know it isn’t cheap!
Sadly, the festival this year hasn’t received any funding. We’re in need of anything we can get to help offset some of the costs of organizing this event – and reducing the risk of festival organizers having heart attacks! If you’re able to contribute something, please consider making a donation here:
The perks are sweet!
A $50 donation gets you a festival pass (regularly $75).
An $80 donation gets you TWO festival passes (regularly $150!)
And there’s lots more!
Want a customized poem? It’s yours! A haiku? You got it! A workshop for you and other local poets? Sure thing! A private performance for you and your friends? Of course!
