Once a year at The Venue we have an Ekphrasis. (a Greek word for a literary description of or commentary on a visual work of art.) For our event we have invited some of the areas most recognized painters to submit one painting, each. We then invited some of the areas strongest poets to select one of those paintings to be the inspiration for an original poem.
We then divided the paired poet/painters into two groups, to present their paintings and read the paired poems, and describe their inspirational and creative processes.
Ekphrasis #1 will occur on Sunday, September 16, at 5 pm, at The Venue.
Ekphrasis #2 will be on Sunday, September 23, at 5 pm, at The Venue.
Refreshments will be served.
The Venue’s Ekphrasis has become one of our favorite events of the year. Plan to attend one or both, and you will not be disappointed.
