Fine Wine Mortar is the first book-length publication by MATRIX, an Indiana State 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts corporation based in Bloomington, Indiana. Founded in 1998, MATRIX : a space for literary and visual art is dedicated to providing consistent public forums for artists and writers to showcase their work in Bloomington and the surrounding area. This has included poetry readings, open mics, poetry slams, art exhibitions, other print publications, radio programs, contests, and workshops.
