Annual Poetic Artistry Show – Opening Reception

Currents Gallery is hosting its annual “Poetic Artistry” event from April 22nd through June 1st, 2025. Each year we honor the artists who assist us in running the gallery with their own featured show. We invite a group of local poets to then preview the specially curated art, select pieces that uniquely speak to them, and share with us the poems they create. The practice of writing poems inspired by art is called “ekphrasis” and is a very old art form, dating back to ancient Greece. The poems written this year will be displayed along with the art that has inspired them through June 1st.  The participating poets will be reading their poems at Currents on the afternoon of Saturday, April 26, followed by a reception at the Gallery.  Please join us in the pleasure of seeing and hearing the beauty of fine art.

Dates & times:  
Show Dates: April 22 through June 1, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 26, 1pm to 4pm.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 4 pm, Sunday 11am – 3pm
