Joslyn Art Museum’s Art & Verse series ft. Fernando Antonio Montejano

(Text from Joslyn.org)

Meet up with friends, Joslyn Art Museum curators, and Nebraska Writers Collective poets for a touch of art and verse at Joslyn Castle. We will gather every other month, through May, for an art talk/poetry pairing that explores a work from the Museum’s collection that has been selected by the public. Cast a vote on social media or the web, then show up to discover the crowdsourced pick, hear a curator’s take on the work, and experience a poet’s performance of an original piece inspired by it. Art and poetry amid exquisite architecture . . . perfectly lyrical!

Wednesday, January 18, 6:30 pm (cash bar @ 6 pm)
Which work will Annika K. Johnson, Ph.D., Associate Curator of Native American Art, and poet Fernando Antonio Montejano explore? One of these three artworks will inspire the program: Raymond Jonson's Composition Five – The Wind, Allan Houser's Peaceful Serenity, or Rick E. Bartow's Mask of Gratitude.

Voting is coming soon!
