The Cape Cod Museum of Art (CCMoA) invited 30 Cape Cod poets to write a poem inspired by an artwork of their choosing from the CCMoA Permanent Collection. Poets were asked to consider the artwork as a visual prompt, to internalize and then respond to the artwork through their poetry in any way they saw fit. For this exhibition, the inspired poems will be displayed on panels adjacent to the original artworks that sparked their creation in CCMoA’s largest exhibition space – the Hope / McClennen Gallery.

​

Three awards were given at the Evening of Poetry and Fine Art on October 24:

 

First ($300) - Brett Warren

Second ($200) - rose auslander

Third ($100) - Kim Baker

​

A special thank you to co-curator Lauren Wolk for lending her literary expertise and assistance in the production of this exhibition, along with CCMoA’s Director of Art, Benton Jones.
