About
PoArtry is an ongoing annual collaboration project that invites poets and artists to work with each other to inspire new work.
The concept is a simple one. Artists and poets are randomly paired together by names drawn from a hat. Each pair then has 3 months to work together to create new work inspired by each other’s existing portfolios.
Each pair must produce 2 new pieces of work
– 1 new piece of artwork and 1 new poem.
The exhibition then shows 4 pieces in total from each pairing; the new poem with the existing artwork and the new artwork with the existing poem.
All artforms are accepted. In the past exhibitions have included sculpture, photography, video, traditional 2D artwork, printing and just about everything else in between! Poems are accepted in a written format.
As 2021 will be a digital exhibition, all artwork will be photographed and a digital copy submitted for the website. All poems will be submitted via Word.doc
Excited by what you’ve seen so far? Want to get involved? Well, here’s how to do just that.
