For this free exhibit, 20 writers and 20 visual artists were challenged to create new work inspired by the work of their partner.
Twenty writers and twenty artists from Missouri and Kansas were invited, through a jury process, to be part of the exhibit and to create a new work of art or writing inspired by one of the other’s original submissions. For example, a poet is given a painting and asked to use it as inspiration to write a new poem, while a painter or sculptor is given a poem and asked to use it as inspiration to create a new artwork.
Each artist and writer was blindly assigned to another person’s work. Neither the artists nor the writers know with whom they have been paired and will meet for the first time at the opening reception, when the exhibit reveals how each read the other’s work. The show at The Box Gallery will consist of 40 works - made up of 20 pairs - encompassing poetry, prose and visual art in a range of media.
