Join WiVLA member, Katherine McDaniel, at our Rise Exhibit for a morning of Ekphrastic Poetry, inspired by our biennial juried exhibition.

An ekphrastic poem is a poem that describes or responds to a work of visual art, often a painting or sculpture.

It's more than just a description; it involves interpretation and reflection on the artwork, expanding its meaning through the poet's voice.
