Art and Poetry Event at Worcester Library 2017-03-18
We had 18 pairings of artists and poets for our 2017 Art-Poetry Pairing exhibition at the Worcester Public Library. This show runs from March 1 to March 31, 2017. The hanging was Wednesday, March 1 from 6-8pm. The take-down is Friday, March 31, from 4:30 to 5:30pm.
Joining the Blackstone Valley Art Association artists are poets from the Sutton Writing Group and the Worcester Writers Collaborative.
Here’s the full details of the show!
Each artist gave the poet a visual work of art to interpret. At the same time, each poet wrote an original poem for the artist to interpret. These photos are from the Meet-The-Artist reception on Saturday, March 18th from 1-3pm.
