We are looking forward to this event tomorrow: “AN EVENING IN FRANCE” ENJOY THE LANGUAGE, CULTURE, FOOD AND WINE OF FRANCE THIS SUMMER AT THE GATEWAY CENTER, DEBARY, FL ON AUGUST 22, 2013. The Gateway Center for the Arts at 880 N HWY 17 92, Debary, FL will host an evening of French culture including music, poetry, food, wine and photography, sponsored by the Sister Cities Of Volusia County on August 22, 2013 from 6pm -8pm. Free admission will be underwritten by personal contributions, The Gateway Center and Sister Cities of Volusia County. The current display in the Gateway Center Main Gallery consists of 50 photographs by Sister Cities photographers depicting contemporary life in rural and urban France with a special emphasis on our Sister City, Bayonne and Paris, the City of Light. The show will end on August 24th, so this “Evening in France” will provide a great chance to see the show. Local French poet, Dan Pels (Sister Cities Board member, Port Orange) will perform his latest poems in French, with English translation by Joe Cavanaugh, (Sister Cities Board member, Ormond Beach) local poet and currently President of the Florida State Poets Association. Cavanaugh will also read poems written in English about selected photographs of France from the show and Pels will translate them into French.
