Call to Artists

Bridging Creativity Through
Art and Poetry

The Poetry in Motion gallery show is a dynamic fusion of visual art and poetry, celebrating the power of storytelling through multiple creative forms. This unique gallery show brings together artists and poets, inviting them to engage in a collaborative conversation—where brushstrokes and verses intertwine.

The exhibition showcases a diverse collection of artwork, each piece an open invitation for interpretation. Poets are challenged to respond, crafting original works inspired by the visuals before them. Selected poems will be displayed alongside the corresponding artwork, offering visitors a layered and immersive experience.

With no set theme, Poetry in Motion encourages bold expression and artistic exploration. Whether through color, composition, or verse, the goal is simple—create, inspire, and be moved.
