Join us for Poetry Night at Gallery Twelve in Wichita! This will be an interactive presentation featuring KAC poet Janice Northerns. Janice will read ekphrastic poems (poems written in response to art work) from her award-winning book and share a few writing tips. You’ll then have a chance to walk through the gallery and respond to the art on display with your own writing. You don’t have to know anything about poetry to participate—come prepared for a little creative inspiration and fun! The event is free. This month’s exhibit features photographs by Bob Benson and glasswork by Scott Garrelts. Final Friday reception will be from 6-9 pm, Aug. 29. The poetry presentation will begin at 7 pm. Gallery Twelve is located at 412 E. Douglas, Suite A, Wichita, KS 67202.
