The Art Crawl in downtown St. Cloud Friday has a new feature, spirited prose. The Poetry Bawl and Crawl starts at the Meeting Grounds on 7^th Avenue North and ends at The Veranda Lounge on 5^th Avenue South. Organizers are framing it as “poets here, poets there, poets everywhere.”

Featured performers include Jeff Carmack, Justin Michael and St. Cloud State University professors Rex Veeder and Debra Leigh along with live musicians. The first station stop is at 6:30 p.m.; the second crawl and bawl starts at 8:00 p.m.

The full art crawl at many venues throughout downtown St. Cloud begins at 4:00 in the afternoon.
