Behind the Scenes Sundays: “Elemental Emotions” by Crystal Davis to be held on Sunday, March 6,
2022 from 2-4PM at Dineen Hull Gallery, 71 Sip Ave., sixth floor, Jersey City, NJ. This is an
in-person event. Attendance is limited to 10 members of the public. All guests must be masked. ORP
celebrates its two-year anniversary with In Full Color and this is a free event, though donations are

Join us as IFC alumni, Crystal Davis of Crystal Letters and ORP, gives us a sneak peek from her first
book release, Elemental Emotions and discusses the process as a poet, author and graphic designer on
finding the storyline through words and images to create a cohesive, gripping work of art. Attendees are
welcome to share Questions and participate in the open mic segment. Hosted and curated by RescuePoetix ™.

“Crystal is an incredible artist. We are always excited to feature her work on our stage, and are so honored
to help her introduce her first book to the world. While her creations are very much grounded in the
elements, in nature and in the human experience, her writing is altogether transcendent...So many of her
fans are talented writers as well, and the open mic portion of this will definitely be lit!” said Summer
Dawn, founder of In Full Color and host of Behind the Scenes Sundays.

“It’s been an incredible adventure to watch the artist, writer and entrepreneur evolve into a force to
contend with. Crystal pours her passion, experience and love of this world into her first offering of
poetry and visual art collection that represents her in every way,” says Jersey City Poet Laureate and event curator
RescuePoetix™.

OpenRoad Poetry celebrates their second year with a bang featuring works from their co-founder and
performances by in-person and virtual artists during the open mic portion of the event. This is part of Hudson County Community College's Behind the Scenes Sundays, an event series inviting audiences to join artists at work -- and perhaps even create art of their own! In Full Color is the first group of resident artists for the program, with events on March 6, 13, and 20. Visit www.INFULLCOLOR.ORG for the latest.

“This segment of IFC: Behind the Scene Sundays is a sneak peek of what’s to come once Elemental
Emotions is published. In celebration of OpenRoad Poetry’s 2-year anniversary, this just felt right. I’m
honored that I’ll have a chance to read some of my poetry and artwork from the book at Hudson County
Community College. It's been a long time coming and I’m excited to begin to share it with the world.
Having the opportunity to see my book slowly come to life with the support of In Full Color, Rescue
Poetix™, and some amazing friends, what more could I ask for?” says Crystal Davis, poet and artist of
Elemental Emotions.
