Poetry Imtrepretation

January 10, 2016

Dear Artists:

You may have heard that the Port Orford and Langlois Libraries are again going to sponsor an

art and poetry exhibit. We heartily invite you to send a photo of wall art to Weld Champneys at

weldandelm@gmail.com, or bring it to the Port Orford Library where a photo will be made. The

dead line is February 4, 2016.

The works of art will inspire the muses of our local poets, resulting in a wonderfully creative

paired exhibit—A Different Slant—opening on March 11, 2016 at the Port Orford Library.

The exhibit will be displayed in both libraries until the end of June.  If you decide to participate, I will send you the hanging protocol and a release form.

The art/poetry exhibit is one part of a month-long program celebrating poetry. Below is a list of events and dates you may wish to mark on your calendar.
