Venue Ekphrasis for Gallery Walk

For Gallery Walk, Ekphrasis at The Venue
On Friday, August 5^th, for Gallery Walk beginning at 5:00p.m., The Venue will feature paintings selected for this year’s Venue Ekphrasis.
We at The Venue have invited ten of Bloomington’s finest Artists and ten of our most accomplished Poets to participate in an Ekphrasis. Each artist has submitted a painting, and each poet has selected one of the paintings, that inspires them to write a poem. The paintings will be our visual show for the month of August.
On Saturday, August 20^th, at 6:00p.m., and again on August 27^th at 6:00p.m. at The Venue, five of the artists will explain the inspiration for their painting, and five of the Poets will read the poems that those paintings inspired. The interaction will elucidate and amplify their creative process.
Our gourmet soup and other special refreshments will be served. Join us.
