ART OF The Painted Word, Merging Poetry and Painting

The Arts Council of Princeton proudly presents the ART OF. From collecting art to tasting wine, this series will introduce you to the endless creativity and innovation in our community. Created by locals, for locals, these all inclusive experiences require no supplies or commitment. Just call your friends and we’ll do the rest. 

Celebrate National Poetry Month with artist Ruthann Traylor, Director of Homefront’s ArtSpace, for this special workshop to learn how to merge the literary and visual arts. Bring your favorite poem, a few lines of verse, or better yet, something you may have written yourself – whatever inspires you to create your own visual art piece. Materials for this all-ages workshop are provided, but you are welcome and encouraged to bring any special items you can use to make the piece your own – old photos, a bit of ribbon, a love letter – and learn how to incorporate them into a collage, mixed media painting, or as your subject for a drawing or painting. Words can be optional or worked into the design because we all know that sometimes roses are not always red.

No experience necessary and beginners are encouraged. Come relax, have fun, and leave with a unique beautiful piece of art all your own! Tickets are free
