Unpoetry at the Frye
Works responding to "Dawn Cerny: Portmeirion"
Join us for a tour of Dawn Cerny: Portmeirion with poet and event organizer Eric M. Acosta, along with a dynamic lineup of local artists, writers, and poets. Using ekphrasis, a detailed response to a work of art, participants will explore the bonds that exist between various art forms.
In collaboration with Unpoetry, writers and artists are invited to generate new work inspired by current exhibitions, with the goal to deepen engagement with the museum space and the artwork within, while challenging traditional definitions of poetry and language. Full lineup to be announced soon.
