Ekphrastic Poetry Reading at the Trout Museum of Art

Poetry Night: Ekphrastic Expressions
April 5 | 1-3 PM | Museum Galleries
(Rescheduled event from Feb 15 cancellation)
Join us for an afternoon of creative dialogue and inspiration at our Poetry Night!
Experience ekphrastic poetry—poems inspired by works of art. Poets will share their written responses to the art displayed in the galleries, offering a deeper connection between visual and written expression. Take part in the conversation, share your thoughts, and even try your hand at crafting your own poem in response to the artwork around you.
Throughout the exhibition A Creative Place, you'll find poetry paired with art—created by poets who carefully studied a piece and responded with imagery and emotion.
The event is organized by Appleton Poet Laureate Cathy Cofell.
