Ekphrastic poetry, a poetic response to visual art, will be explored in an upcoming workshop led by the extraordinary public speaker, author, and poet, Michelle Klettke, at Imagine Museum. Participants will draw inspiration from the museum’s collection, creating a unique setting for poetic expression and fostering a deep connection between visual and literary arts.
The event begins with an introduction and warm-up session, where Michelle will define ekphrastic poetry and lead a word association exercise to spark creativity. Participants will then explore the museum’s galleries, selecting a piece of artwork that inspires them. After reflecting and writing, everyone will share their poems, creating a relaxed environment for art and poetry enthusiasts.
Bring your own notebook and pen, though materials will be available. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to engage with ekphrastic poetry and connect with like-minded individuals. Mark your calendars and secure your tickets for a night of poetic brilliance at The Imagine Museum.
