Welcome.
Thank you all for being here.
I'm Laura Copelin.
I'm the deputy director and one of the curators here at MOCA.
So grateful to see all of you.
What a beautiful crowd.
And to be here for CAConrad's reading.
So I just want to say a few really quick thank yous.
First off, huge thank you, CA, to you
for a beautiful exhibition and for doing a million workshops
this week and for just being with us back here in Tucson.
I also want to Thank our partners
at The Poetry Center, Tyler, Paola, Julie, the whole team.

Thank you to all of the MOCA members out here.

about to launch into our membership drive.
So become a member, support artists, experimental practices,

Support us.
And thank you to all the ambassadors, trustees,
all the people who are here that support us.
And yeah, welcome to Third Thursday.
For some of you who are new to Third Thursday here
for the reading, we do this every third Thursday
of the month and KXCI are our incredible partners.
They're always playing music here.
The museum's open late for free.
It's our free night.
And Sundays now are also pay what you wish.
So good things to note.
Trying to just be more and more and more free in all the ways.
But just make sure that you get a beer or a hot water
from our partners at Brick Box who are showing up for us
tonight.
And please order lots of delicious food
from Ensenada Street Food behind you.
And yeah, I'm going to pass it over.
I just want to also say thanks to the MOCA staff
and volunteers.
You guys are the best.
But I want to pass it along
To Tyler who's going to keep going.
