Art Embraces Words and Poetry

 

Writers paint images with words; Artists tell stories with color; together they enrich our community!

Please join us for Art Embraces Words and Art Embraces Poetry...

 

ART EMBRACES WORDS takes place at the Lafayette Library and is a recurring series of free events featuring emerging authors reading excerpts of their work, local artists speaking about their visual art, and a Q&A with audience members. An outdoor reception with light refreshments follows.

  • Art Embraces Words 2024 | May, August, and October

We alternate emerging writer and artist presenters, announced by Co-chair and Emcee Linda Hartmann of the California Writers Club Mt. Diablo Branch. LAC Board President Sue Farmer keeps us on time throughout the program. A media table is provided for authors, artists, and information of interest to the literary and artistic community. Book sales are encouraged.

 

ART EMBRACES POETRY takes place at Town Hall Theatre in Lafayette and follows a similar format.

  • Art Embraces Poetry 2024 | February, April, and July
