Our 2022 event features 76 juried artists and poets participating in an art exhibit, poetry readings, and published in a chapbook featuring all artwork and poetry of the participants.
From the poems chosen, participating artists create a new piece of art inspired by one of the poems. The joy and challenge of this event is the translation of the emotion and story of the written words of a poet by an artist into a representative piece of art.
