Paint the Poem
Bring your passion for poetry and visual arts together!
We will spark your youth’s creativity by painting and drawing with poetry! They’ll create visual arts that are inspired by poems, delve into art history and learn about visual artists who have used text and poetry in their work. Youth are invited to bring their own poetry to paint or illustrate. Painted poems can be beautiful gifts for loved ones during the holiday season.

When I'm not making art, find me listening to music on full blast in the kitchen, dancing and making food for my family:)
