Program
The Surrey Muse program is put together once a year, in Feb/March for the April-November session. Dates are chosen by the participants through an invitation. Participants are invited from a recommendations list that stays open throughout the year, and it includes the previous year’s winners of the five Surrey Muse Art & Literature Awards. To recommend authors, poets and artists/performers to be featured at Surrey Muse, please use the online recommendation form.
