The Art of Poetry

An exciting exhibition featuring over 30 artists and makers whose work has been inspired by poetry. Each piece of art will be exhibited alongside the poem that inspired it: the majority by wonderful classic poets such as Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley, but also contemporary self-penned poetry by the artists themselves. The exhibition includes painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, glass, textiles and ceramics.

To accompany the exhibition there will also be a book featuring selected pieces and poems from the show.
