Ekphrastic (Art from Art) Poetry Reading and Art Exhibit at Gold Lion
April 18 @ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
National Poetry Month poetry reading in front of the pieces of art that inspired the poem. Art from immigrants and international artists!
Join Us for Ekphrastic Poetry!
Perception, creation, dreams. How do we relate to our neighbors, near and far? Drawing from the art of immigrants in the United States and international artists from Nigeria, Japan, Canada, and Mexico, poets attending CommonWealth Poetry’s Sunday Brunch Workshop Series have written poems inspired by art.
Join us as we read poetry in front of the piece of art that inspired each poem! Art was submitted as paintings, sculpture, digital art, and photographs. The poem and art pieces will be available for sale on site.
