The Cultural Arts Division is pleased to invite the public to participate in a literary component to the Public Art Program which explores the relationship between visual and written expression. Being witness to visual art is not a static experience, but rather an ongoing conversation between the artist, the viewer, the writer, and the wider community.
We encourage you to reflect on the diverse collection of individual works of art in this two-year exhibition of the Public Art Program at City Hall or The Hawk Community Center and use the artwork as inspiration for bringing your words to paper.
Be it a stirring poem, an evocative short story, or any other form of literary artistry such as song lyrics or essays, this is an opportunity to showcase your talent and contribute to our vibrant cultural arts scene! We envision this project evolving into a compelling collection of written works, encapsulating the diverse voices of our community.
We would like to exhibit the written works and get together for an evening in March 2027 to have writers read their work for the artists and friends. Be part of this unique journey and let your words leave a lasting imprint!
