On Wednesday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. the Madison Art Society and the Guilford Poets Guild will present a very special event. Poetry Night, is an evening on which the poets read aloud poems inspired by the artwork displayed at Madison Art Society's 42nd Annual Juried Show. The poems, sometimes funny, other times poignant or emotional are read with flair and drama by the poets.
The art that inspired the poem is displayed during the reading. The event is enjoyed by the artists and poets alike and is open to the public. Artists whose work is selected as the subject of a poem have likened having their work chosen to winning a prize.
