The SparkCon festival, a local talent showcase and series of workshops, is being held in downtown Raleigh this weekend.
Street painters, graffiti artists, yoga instructors, filmmakers, musicians, tattoo artists and others will hold demonstrations of their respective crafts Friday through Sunday at various locations.
Musicians will share the stories behind their popular songs as part of the festival’s storySpark section held in Moore Square. The program will also feature readings of short stories, poetry and non-fiction.
A late night edition of storySpark at the Metro Café will feature an erotic poetry reading, art and live jazz performed by WRAL’s Pam Saulsby.
