DESCRIPTION: This exhibition is all about artists exploring how one can merge a poetic verse and a work of visual art. Good poetry contains language that evokes a visual scene in your mind as you read it. If you’re not a fan of poetry, use this as an opportunity to acquaint yourself with this form of artistic literature and perhaps expose another source of inspiration for your creativity. Song lyrics, Biblical Psalms, classic poetry, or your OWN written poem are potential sources.
Not sure where to begin your search for poetry? Try an online search for: Haiku, Sonnet, Odes, Limerick, Hafiz, Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickenson, Elizabeth Browning, Old Testament Psalms.
THE CALL: Anyone may enter up to 2 pieces of art which can be inspired from the same poem or a different one. Part of your registration will involve uploading your poem that is less than one page in length, along with the title and source of the excerpt. If your poetic verse is longer than a page, please edit it down to the most important sentences or phrases which support your art. This text will be formatted and displayed beside your work. This exhibition is limited to 100 submissions.
Prior to registering, please review: YAA ARTIST TERMS AND CONDITIONS for compliance standards and guidelines for acceptance into York Art Association exhibitions.
