Cleveland Museum of Art and Lake Erie Ink bring together writing and art for a poetry workshop 4/21
April is National Poetry Month, an annual celebration of poetry spearheaded by the Academy of American Poets that celebrates poetry’s vital place in our culture.
We invite youth ages 8-15 to celebrate National Poetry Month with Lake Erie Ink this April, and let art be your inspiration. Lake Erie Ink, together with the Cleveland Museum of Art, will be hosting a youth poetry workshop exploring ekphrastic poetry, a poetic form where poetry responds to visual art.
During the workshop, youth will take a poetic journey through the Cleveland Museum of Art. Receiving guidance on finding inspiration in an artwork and construct poems in the ekphrastic tradition, youth will create poems that will be placed by the artwork that inspired it for other museumgoers to respond and add to throughout the day.
This workshop is part of Lake Erie Ink’s Weekend Ink workshop series and takes place Saturday, April 21 from 10:30am-12:30pm at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The $5 workshop fee will be accepted at the door.
Print and share the flyer with family and friends.
