Messy Minds Book Launch Party

La Fromagerie 80 Elgin Street, Sudbury

This is it - our first launch party is being thrown at La Fromagerie! Come join us as we celebrate, share spoken poetry and stories, and enjoy art, poetry & photography by beautiful local artists. There will be cheese platters, live music & 100 copies that you can purchase in celebration of your favourite local artists & loved ones' published work. What is Messy Minds? Messy Minds is more than just a book project - it's a community. Based in Sudbury, Ontario, it combines art, photos and photography to express our deepest emotions, hopes, desires and dreams. This book is separated into sections of secrets, musings, short writings, and wisdoms to “what would you tell your younger self?”, all outlined by art, photography and poetry that encapsulates our burning desire to live our own definition of our truest lives. We launched Messy Minds in 2016 as a book project for students & artists alike to share their deepest secrets, hopes and dreams with. We took a bit of time to rework the concept and work out the nitty gritty design details – and we've since expanded it to invite people from all walks of life to share their stories with us. We couldn't have done it without every contributor and supporter. Come join us as we celebrate the evening away for our very first published edition!
