Greetings to All!
I am writing with a poetry call for submissions for a poetry and art show to take place in August 2013 at Wickford Art Association in Wickford, Rhode Island. We are looking for your best poem!
This unique and exciting collaboration of poets and
artists is also a fundraiser for the Rhode Island Community Food
Bank. So your entry fee will help feed those who don't have enough to
eat.
Also, Wickford Art Association may
select your poem to be part of a book for sale of poems and art from
the show. Imagine your poem in a book of art and poetry! And the
exhibit and book will give all poets and artists wonderful exposure to
new audiences.
Here's how the show will work. Once we have selected
55 poems, invited artists will then select one poem and create an
original work of art inspired by it. Both poem and work of art will be
exhibited in an exciting first-of-its-kind exhibit in August at Wickford Art Gallery.
All selected poets and artists will be invited to the attend the opening of the exhibit.
All
these details, as well as payment and submission guidelines are
below. Please feel free to pass this along to
anyone you think might be interested in submitting.
We can't wait to read your work!
Carpe poetry and art!
Kim Baker
