Thank you to the over 200 people who visited Center Portion this past weekend from the Logan Square neighborhood. We had a great time meeting everyone and sharing some fabulous artwork, performance and film. Looking forward to seeing more of you at future events.

In celebration of National Poetry Month, The Oyez Review (Roosevelt University's Illinois Arts Council award-winning literary magazine) and Center Portion presented the third annual Urban Voices — a showcase of Chicago's best performance poets in a gallery painted with full wall-sized graffiti art.
The Special Guest performers included: Marc Smith ("Inventor" of The Poetry Slam), Michael Warr (author of We Are All The Black Boy), Cin Salach (of Artbeat), Shappy (author of Stupid Little Poetry Boy), Nina Corwin (author of Conversations With Friendly Demons and Tainted Saints), and several others.
