Art + Poetry = Ekphrastic Fantastic

Treat yourself to some visual inspiration at the spectacular Maia Gallery in Gisborne. Look, and look again, then pen your impressions of the art with the help of some practical prompts and guidance. Maybe you’ll discover an unexpected story behind the artwork? This is a fun poetry writing workshop, you don’t need to be an artist or have any formal knowledge of art to participate.

The visual stimulation will take place at Maia, a centre of artistic creative excellence at Toihoukura, where art and words mesh, reform and take new shape.
