Over the month of July, 2024, True Grit Art Gallery put out a Call For Poetry to local poets throughout southern New England. We asked them to submit poems for an upcoming planned art exhibition. The idea was that the gallery would select five poems from a pool of submissions that visual artists could respond to by producing an artwork. The catch is that the gallery would assign each artist a poem to work with by a purely random, lottery process. This was done to ensure an equitable artworks to poems distri-bution for the planned exhibit. The results are posted below and 'Poetic Visions' will be on display at our brick and mortar gallery through September 28th. |
