Poetry In Motion
Gallery Show & Art Sale
Our annual Poetry in Motion exhibition — a unique celebration of the connection between visual art and the written word.
This open media show welcomes both members and non-members. All work will be professionally judged, with cash and ribbon awards presented at the reception.
There is no set theme — instead, we encourage you to let your imagination lead. Create work that speaks, suggests, or stirs emotion. After submission, invited poets will view the artwork and select pieces that inspire them to write original poems. Selected poems may be displayed alongside the artwork, creating a dynamic dialogue between image and language.
A donation at the door helps support the
Beach Art Center.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
