Paintings and Prints
As we become established we hope to increase the number of artworks on show with perhaps even the opportunity to purchase paintings and prints without gallery prices. Let us know if you would like to meet the artists.Music
It's possible for us to arrange for musicians to come and play for you. If you're celebrating, some great local Klezmer music could bring a little magic to the event! Let us know as far as possible in advance if this is something that appeals to you - prices vary according to the circumstances.Poetry
We're delighted to tell you that Phoebe is involved in a very informal poetry and musical evening held at Massolit bookstore (Ul. Felicianek 4) on the first and third Sunday of every month. If you're in town please join us!Creative Workshops

And in recognition...
...of our namesake, here's a poem by Adrienne RichPower
Living in the earth-deposits of our historyToday a backhoe divulged out of a crumbling flank of earth
one bottle amber perfect a hundred-year-old
cure for fever or melancholy a tonic
for living on this earth in the winters of this climate
Today I was reading about Marie Curie:
she must have known she suffered from radiation sickness
her body bombarded for years by the element
she had purified
It seems she denied to the end
the source of the cataracts on her eyes
the cracked and suppurating skin of her finger-ends
till she could no longer hold a test-tube or a pencil
She died a famous woman denying
her wounds
denying
her wounds came from the same source as her power
