Poetry & Art exhibit

This is the opening reception for Poetry & Art, an exhibition of
contemporary poetry & responsive art. Sponsored by the Wickford Art
Association, a collection of 55 poem by local writers was compiled. 55
juried artist members of the WAA were asked to select a poem from the
submissions & create a piece of art inspired by the poem. The poets
& artists will meet for the first time at this opening reception
where all the poems & artwork will be on display. This collection of
artwork & poems has also
been printed in a book & the book will be available for sale, with a
portion of the proceeds going to benefit the RI Food Bank. If you're
unable to make the opening, the exhibit will be open to the public
during regular gallery hours until August 25th. For more info, visit our website www.wickfordart.org.
