The Ekphrastic Experience with Lancaster Poet Laureate, Dana Kinsey

4:00 PM
–6:00 PM
Join us for a powerful two-part workshop that brings poetry and visual art into conversation. The Ekphrastic Experience, led by Lancaster City Poet Laureate Dana Kinsey, invites writers of all levels to engage deeply with the creative process through the lens of ekphrasis—writing inspired by art.
Session 1 - Saturday May 17, 4:00-6:00PM:
Take a guided tour of the artwork at Lancaster Art Vault and select a piece that resonates with you. Then, under the guidance of Lancaster City Poet Laureate Dana Kinsey, learn techniques for writing poetry inspired by visual art. You'll craft your poem surrounded by the very work that sparked it.
Session 2 - Saturday May 24, 4:00-6:00PM:
This public event invites the community to celebrate your creations. Meet the artist behind your chosen piece and share your finished poem alongside fellow writers. It's a unique opportunity for dialogue between visual art, poetry, and audience.
$20 for both sessions.
