Reception: Wabi-Sabi & Ekphrastic Poetry: 24 Works of Art and 24 Poems

12 artists and 12 poets were randomly paired. With the theme of “wabi-sabi,” each artist submitted a work of art, and each poet submitted a poem. Without knowing the identity of the artist or poet with whom they were paired, each submitted a second work of art or a second poem in response to the first piece submitted. In the end, the exhibit features 24 poems and 24 works of art.
The Artists: Paul Andresini, Storrs Bishop, Betsy Hall, Joe Fay, Cristina Marian, Kateri Nelson, Kay Potter, Rachel Rhoden, Tandy Riddle, Aaron Schuerr, Marilyn Tain, Joe Wayne.
The Poets: Rick Bass, Marc Beaudin, Dalton Brink, David Caserio, Michael Earl Craig, Molly Damm, Kelly Dick, Ariety Fried, Tami Haaland, Max Hjortsberg, Allen Jones, Aaron Parrett.
The exhibit remains up until Sept. 21.
