Reception for Poet-Artist Collaboration XVII

Saturday | April 21 | 6:30-9:30pm
Crossings at Carnegie | Zumbrota MN

Winona area writers and RAA members Scott Lowery and Ken McCullough are among the poets whose work was chosen for Crossings’ 17th Annual Poet-Artist Collaboration. Join us to meet the poets and artists and to enjoy light refreshments. We then move to the State Theatre at 7:30 PM for a reading and display of the inspired art, with images of the paintings projected behind the poets reading.

Crossings’ 17th Annual Poet-Artist Collaboration exhibit, celebrating a pairing of two art forms, is on display March 26 through April 26. Read the poems and determine for yourself how the artists were inspired. Twenty-six poets and visual artists took part in this years’ exhibit which can be seen free of charge during regular business hours.  Jurors winnowed more than 200 poems down to just 26. Other jurors selected 26 artists from those who entered. For this exhibit, each artist chooses one poem from which to create an artwork. Poems and the work they inspired are displayed together.

Scott Lowery and Ken McCullough are members of the River Arts Alliance. To learn more about the benefits of membership, please visit: riverartsalliance.org/JOIN.
