The Art Box - Episode 431 - Spring 2026 East Fremont Festival of Arts - Poetry Slam

Spring 2026 East Fremont Festival of Arts | Downtown Container Park, Las Vegas Sometimes the best episodes aren’t planned—they’re discovered. In this special on-location episode of The Art Box, Steve heads to the vibrant Spring East Fremont Festival of Arts, hosted by our friend Liezl Siojo of ART BOX, at the ever-energetic Downtown Container Park. Under a sky full of color, music, and creativity, we set up and invited something simple… and powerful: Share a poem. What followed was a beautiful, spontaneous collection of voices—artists, vendors, and visitors alike—each stepping up to the mic to offer a piece of themselves. Some heartfelt, some playful, all real. Along the way, you’ll hear the hum of the festival—laughter between booths, the camaraderie of creators, music drifting through the air, and the kind of moments that can only happen when people gather to celebrate art. This episode is a reminder that poetry isn’t confined to books or stages—it lives in conversations, in shared spaces, and in the courage to speak. So step in, take a listen, and spend a little time with us at one of Las Vegas’ most creative corners.
