MICA Gallery will host the 21st annual “Burning Desires: An Afternoon of Love in Performance and Art”

Since 1993, first Otherwise Gallery and now the Michigan Institute for Contemporary Art has hosted a performance event close to Valentine’s Day in celebration of the many aspects of love—comic, profound, erotic and more. It is a perfect event for lovers young and old! Local favorites, the Honey Badgers Band will provide musical accompaniment.

Those wishing to get into the act are invited to participate in an open mic. The first 10 participants to sign up are invited to read one poem (3-5 minutes max). Spoken word and slam poetry is welcome!
