ArtWord: Poetry Night
Friday, April 14
5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Free and open to the public
It's a night of high-energy language as the worlds of poetry and visual art intersect. Join us on a tour of the galleries as poet-participants in the ArtWord project read their poems alongside the artwork that inspired them. Also, enjoy a performance by the Boston Typewriter Orchestra, and create your own erasure poetry using PMA gallery labels.
