For Immediate Release:

Announcing a new event @ Gallery Vertigo...

SPEAKeasy

Friday November 6th @ 7pm

Once an establishment that sold alcohol illegally during prohibition, the term Speakeasy, from here on in, will refer to a gathering of the creative community at Gallery Vertigo. SPEAKeasy offers a chance to network, share ideas, and keep in touch with the creative pulse of the Okanagan...a venue for artists to perform, witers to read and musicians to play.

The original SPEAKeasy was an elaborate show with food, live music, floor shows and strip tease dancers. The SPEAKeasy at Gallery Vertigo may prove to be just as much fun....well maybe minus the striptease dancers...the atmosphere will be casual....conducive to innovation and inspiration.

All are welcome to attend. Our door is open to students, creative professionals and curious onlookers. Choose to perform or just sit back and enjoy. It's your home sweet home.

"Anybody who is anybody will soon walk through that door..." (from the movie Bugsy Malone, "Speakeasy")

Admission by Donation. Suggested Donation is $3.00. (Pay what you can.)

Complimentary Refreshments will be served.
