Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop with Ms. AyeVee
About this Event
Join Clark County poet laureate Ashley “Ms. AyeVee” Vargas for a free ekphrastic poetry workshop at the Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum.
With its roots in Greek literary tradition, “ekphrasis” is a way of using poetic language to describe and evoke a work of visual art. Ekphrastic poetry may also respond imaginatively to the artwork while creating a separate (discreet) back and forth (dialogue, collaboration, interactions, etc) that expands the meaning of the artwork. Literal or metaphorical, this kind of poetry is meant to illuminate the intersectional connection between literary and visual artistic mediums.
This event is open to poets of all ages and skill levels.
Writing materials, mocktails & snacks, other goodies, and positive vibes are all provided so just bring your creativity with you!
