Centos: The Visual & The Poetic
Centos: The Visual & The Poetic
Paintings and Poems by Visual Artist and Poets
Show Dates: May 27 – June 10
Artist & Poets Reception: May 27 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm
20 Northern Michigan visual artists and 10 poets creating new visions.
Cento from the Latin for “patchwork,” the cento (or collage poem) is a poetic form building on composed lines from poems by other poets to create a new poem.
Visual cento works are influenced and inspired by another artist, finding what’s familiar in entirely new context, in ways that delight and astonish, both artist and viewer.
Participate in our Cento Exhibit by writing your own poem on our interactive board.
Join us for the artist and poet reception on Saturday, May 27th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. Meet the artists, listen to the poets read their poems, and enjoy the refreshments.
