Program
Join us for the first Ekphrastacy performance of 2022 as poetry and visual art stir dialogue between the visual artist members of RUST and a panel of esteemed local poet performers. This free event occurs in response to each exhibition at Heights Arts, including the works presented in the spotlight gallery, this time celebrating public artist and painter, Jesse Rhinehart. Jesse’s work, though realistic, focuses more intently on capturing an essence of a moment, than a hyper-realistic static state. What better way to explore emotions his work may inspire, than a poetic deep-dive and a peek into his process?
Poets: Ray McNiece (Read by Heights Writes Community Team Member, John Burroughs), Robert Miltner, Molly Fuller, Andrea Doe
Artists responded to: William Brouillard , Stephen Yusko , Doug Meyer , Pamela Pastoric , Matthew Albright , Linda Mayer , Adrian DesJardins , Micheal Costello
