This year at ArtJune, Spirit Lake Arts wanted to feature something unique for our artists and patrons. Please give a warm welcome to Gary Frisch and his poetic stylings to the ArtJune Stage!

Gary Frisch is a Baraboo native who is a retired English teacher. He also created and published a JYMS literary journal, Audacious Muse. Gary has a creative writing masters degree from Wilkes University and has had many poems published throughout the years. Now though, he is more known for his music and songwriting, so he is excited to share his poetry again.

Gary and his band, "Gary Frisch and the Truth" will be hosting and open mic and jam following ArtJune at Brothers On Oak from 6-9PM. Be sure to drop in, join in the fun, and hear Gary and co. crank it up a notch!

Special tanks to Atoxicdream Design for yet another awesome grapic!
