The Philosophy Club Talent Show

This is a notice informing you of our upcoming Philosophy RSO Club meeting this week. As before, the club mixes intellectuality with fun. Our next meeting is a talent show on Friday, April 12th, 2024, at 4 pm, Faner Hall, room 3314. If you have discovered within yourself a deep need for deep expression, a deep need to showcase something hidden and meaningful within you, then what better way than at an intellectual talent show? The idea here is that through whatever medium you desire (poetry, essay, painting, etc.) you have a chance to bring forth from your depths some of the meaning that is always longing to make itself known. If you’ve ever desired to try your hand at being an artist, now is your chance. Art is about awakening inner depths in others that they didn’t know. Below is the link to fill out the Google form if you have something to present. Gift cards are up for grabs for the best talents of the night. Refreshments are available too. Thank you.

Friday, April 12th, 2024. 4PM @ Faner Hall, Room 3314.
