Is there a poem, song, book, article, or quote that has inspired your art in the last four years? This virtual exhibition will feature artwork connected to and/or inspired by a literary or written work, excerpt, or quote. Artists will be asked to share a quote or passage from the work, song, or article that can be exhibited with the work. We seek a wide variety of content and a broad representation of style.

All media will be considered, including painting, printmaking, photography, drawing, sculpture, book art, video, and sound art.? Only artwork created during the past four years will be accepted. Due to a COVID19-related shelter-in-place and the unpredictability of the local situation as fall months approach, the exhibition is planned as a virtual exhibition.
