Exhibition: Poetic Art October 21 - November 20 Poetic Art: a benefit for the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a nonprofit organization created in early 2005 to assist our wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan, and their families, while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. The exhibition will be held on the second floor of Gallery W-16 featuring both professional and amateur poets and artists working in collaboration to produce Poetic Art. The work of art will inspire the poet’s words, or the poem will inspire the artist’s creation. The exhibition will open to the public October 21 - November 20, 2009. An opening reception will be held on October 25th from 2:00-5:00pm, and will feature a reading of some of the submitted poems. The exhibition will feature both invited and juried artists and poets, including Rita Dove Poet Laureate of the United States and Consultant to the Library of Congress from 1993 to 1995, Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia from 2004 to 2006, and 1987 Pulitzer Prize winner in Poetry.
