Art & Poetry is our annual FREE celebration of the creative arts. Spend the day making art with friends, watch live performances throughout the day, and sign up to participate in the Poetry Slam. This event is sponsored by Women Writing for a Change.
Participating Organizations:
🖌️ Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library: 2 PM - 5 PM
The Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library will be offering black-out poetry, where participants will be able to choose pages from old library books that would otherwise be recycled. Participants can black-out all the words on the page but the ones used to make a poem, adding designs and doodles as they please. Button-making will be available with a few pre-selected designs, as well as wooden bookmark decorating. All three activities are for all ages!
🖌️ Creative Asian Society: 1 - 6 PM
Creative Asian Society artists will demonstrate Chinese poetry and haiku written in Chinese and Japanese calligraphy. Visitors are invited to copy artists' works or compose their own poems or haiku using calligraphy brushes.
