True Grit Gallery is currently looking for poetry entries to be used as inspiration for a collaborative show featuring Visual and Literary Artists.  5 poems will be chosen from the submissions to inspire other artists to create a visual interpretations and be hung on display at the True Grit Gallery.  Listed below will be the information for this upcoming show from True Grit Galleries Website.

**CALL FOR POETRY**

Calling all poets! We need your submissions for an upcoming art exhibition inspired by your poetry!

True Grit Art Gallery will select 5 poems to prompt artists to create visual artworks inspired by them. Poets will be invited to read their chosen poems at the opening reception on Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 6- 8pm.

Selected poems will be published on our website, printed, and exhibited with corresponding created artworks hung in our brick and mortar gallery for the length of this show. Poems can be in any traditional form or free verse. Vibrant imagery, sensory language and strong metaphor will be some of the things we’ll look for to inspire artists in creating their visual works.

Poems should be kept relatively short in order to be more easily displayed alongside exhibited artwork in this show. We ask that you structure your poem to fit on one page (letter 8.5” x 11”, portrait) in 11pt Arial font (including title). We will likely be enlarging your poems when we print and exhibit them with accepted visual artworks. Submit your poem(s) in pdf format to truegritartgallery@gmail.com along with short bio and contact info. Submit up to 3 poems under the subject heading: Poetry Submission. Deadline for all poetry submissions is July, 31st, 2024 by 11:59pm.

This show is planned as an inaugural event meant to forge relationships between the local visual and literary arts communities. We hope to do more poetry inspired events in the future.

‘Poetic Visions’ will run from its opening night on September 14, through September 28. True Grit Art Gallery is located at 38 Center St. in Middleboro, MA. Regular hours are Tuesday 11-4, Wednesday thru Friday 10-5, and Saturday 10-3.
