Saturday August 29 * 6:30-10pm (come and go during that time) * Free * RSVP

Twelve artists. Three disciplines. One creative conversation.  

What if every work of art became the beginning of another?  

Join us for Graftings, a one-night-only interdisciplinary exhibition featuring four poets, four visual artists, and four filmmakers in one extraordinary creative conversation.

The project began with a single poem. A visual artist responded to it. Another poet then wrote a new poem inspired by that artwork, followed by another visual artist, and so on, creating a chain of inspiration that unfolded across poetry and visual art.

At each stage, a filmmaker transformed the paired poem and artwork into a short video poem.

On Saturday, August 29 at 6:30 p.m., experience the entire conversation in one space. Explore the poems and artwork, watch the video poems, and discover how creativity evolves when artists listen deeply and respond to one another.

Whether you love poetry, film, visual art—or you're simply curious about the creative process—we'd love to have you join us.
