Aroma of Art Ekphrastic Poetry Event

Inspired by the donations? You are invited to submit writings connected to the donated art in the AOA auction. Local poets are invited to write poems inspired by the art and submit them for inclusion in the exhibit.

A panel of judges will select 20-25 pieces to be displayed next to the artwork. The authors of these works will be invited to participate in a reading at Taste Full Beans on February 26, from 6-8. Some selected poems will also be featured in "Musings".

Poems should include the author's name and the title of the artwork the poem is based on. Submit by February 17 to asowens1@yahoo.com or at Taste Full Beans.
