Arts Can Be Part Of Everyday Life

One of the shows held by Poetry Solves Problems.

Back in 2012 two women, Nikita Liza and Crystal Salas, got together and formed a group that was meant to be a community, a celebration, a scene, an occasion. Every two to three months, a show comes together with a mixture of artists, mostly rappers, musicians, poets; but fiction writers, stand-up comics, and visual artists can be added to the mix. It's known for an open mic, with a very supportive and appreciative audience. And at the same time, interactive poetry challenges occur. So, that's the show/event.



In between shows, there are bookbinding and writing workshops, an assortment of public poetry happenings, on-the-spot poetry for whomever comes along, and visiting poets to local classrooms in Los Angeles. It makes poetry available at any time; captures beauty in words; and changes concepts of community, art, literature, and poetry in today's world. It's excitement and it's vision. The group, complete with website and facebook page, is POETRY SOLVES PROBLEMS.

Make a stop at the website and the home page contains the schedule for upcoming events, some with specific themes and artists. A lot of collaborating goes on here. The place to find the latest is the facebook page, where announcements of events are posted, along with some recaps of recent events. So, if you happen to be in the Los Angeles area and like a good atmosphere with community spirit and plenty of interaction, look out for their events and check them out.
