Poetry and Art a Collaboration

The South Arkansas Arts Center and the South Arkansas Poets of the Pines are once again joining forces to present a collaborative performance on Saturday, August 28th from 6-8PM. An artists' reception will be held for some of the artists whose works are featured in the current exhibit "Collaboration" from the famed Garbo Hearnes collection. The poets have written ekphrastic works, or poetry inspired by artworks, to accompany many of the pieces, and will be reading these poems in the gallery next to each artwork.

The stage reading on the 14th was a huge success, and you don't want to miss this encore performance by some very talented poets. The art is magnificent, as well, and you will be glad you came. Admission is free, but the experience is priceless.

As one audience member said after the stage performance, "It gives a whole new depth and voice to the art. It makes you not only see and hear the work, but feel it as well."

I hope to see you at the Arts center in El Dorado on the 28th. If you need directions, e-mail me at jbob214@yahoo.com or call me at 870-943-2258. Thanks for your support.
