Seventh-grader contributing poems to accompany paintings

Seventh-grader Aarav will present original poems to accompany paintings from a local artist at a show next week.

It started over the summer, when poet and painter Linda Simone approached Aarav and asked him to collaborate with her on a show. He wrote the poems and her paintings are responses to his writing.

The show will take place on Sept. 14 at San Antonio Barista Academy, 3107 Broadway, Bldg 2. There are two sessions, at 10 a.m. and at 11 a.m. Consider this note a special invitation to members of the Keystone community.
