A committee will review the submitted writing anonymously, and poems will be chosen to be performed in close proximity to their chosen work of art on January 24-25, 2009.
Guidelines: Work must be no longer than 5-8 minutes.
Deadline: December 15, 2008. Poems may address the creative process, the artist's process, or the viewer's process, or may be inspired by the image in the paintings or the emotions they evoke. Writers may perform their own work or an actor will be asked to perform. Mara Mills and Tom Kramer will direct the works. Submissions should include a cover sheet with Title, Name and Contact Information. Please put only the title on the poem itself.
