Celebrating National Poetry Month. Emerge Gallery is pleased to highlight the power of words and their connection to visual arts through the exhibition Art & Words. For as far back as the times of Plato, writers have been inspired by art to create poetry true to the form of the original work, yet adding their unique poetic perspective. Art & Words includes works of art by 41 artists inspired by a poem of their choice. Inspiration for the artworks come from classic, contemporary and original poetry. All styles and works on paper, fiber, paintings, photography, and small sculpture are included.
