Following the poetry presentation\, the urban canvas movable mural tapestries will debut on the exterior walls of the historic Eau Claire Print Building. The presentation will be held at 12:30 pm on Tuesday\, August 18\, 2026 at the Eau Claire print building at 3907 Ensor Avenue. \nNorth Columbia’s Tribe Slam Team is a competitive poetry ensemble who has represented the Midlands at major regional and national poetry slam competitions. \nThe Urban Canvas movable mural tapestries are a signature creative form unique to Columbia. Stormwater Studios artist Stephen Chesley describes the large-scale\, movable tapestries as “anti-murals”\, as they do not occupy fixed spaces. Urban Canvas tapestries have been exhibited across Columbia’s exterior public spaces\, maximizing viewing opportunities for the widest cross section of citizens.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
