✉️ Let Your Creativity Travel—One Postcard at a Time

Join us for a FREE celebratory afternoon honoring the artists behind Roam. Create. Send., a traveling postcard exhibition inspired by the life and legacy of Walt Whitman.

This event marks the culmination of a powerful community art journey, where visual storytelling, poetry, and creative exploration converge—echoing Whitman’s timeless themes of identity, movement, and self-expression.



🖼️ What to Expect
  • 🔎 Explore Whitman-Inspired Postcard Art: See how artists interpreted Whitman's themes in stunning 4"x6" postcard formats

  • 🏆 Celebrate Award Recipients, including our Best in Show winner, who will receive a custom award and a gift card courtesy of Blick Art Materials, People's Choice, & Student Award

💬 Why This Exhibit Matters

“Roam. Create. Send.” invites artists and audiences to re-examine the world around them—just as Whitman urged us to do through his revolutionary verse. Each postcard becomes a vessel of memory, place, and perspective, proving that small formats can hold big stories.

Let’s celebrate that spirit—together.
