Expressions: Art & Verse
Reception Saturday, February 24, 2024 1-4 PM
Congratulations to Arlene Ashack for having one of her pieces of art selected to be included in this interesting show. Her piece, Entanglement, is featured on the flyer below. You are invited to attend the reception and poety reading on February 24. The full announcement for the event is listed below.
The Addison Center for the Arts is pleased to announce “Expressions: Art & Verse 2024” , our fourth collaboration between Illinois artists and the Illinois State Poetry Society. In February, the ACA will host the program in which ISPS poets recite ekphrastic poems they’ve written about pieces of art. It is always an enriching melding of two art forms — poetry and visual art.

The art exhibit will open Friday, February 23, 2024 and will continue through March 16, 2024. Participating artists will display original artworks that inspired a poem by an ISPS poet. ISPS poets will jury the prospective artists by choosing their favorite from the candidates’ entry images.
The reception will be on Saturday, February 24, 2024, from 1 to 4 pm. During this event, the public is invited to enjoy the art exhibit in the gallery and then attend the poetry recital by members of the ISPS in the adjacent studio theater.
