- **Event Description**: South Gallery: Ecstatic Ekphrasis: presented by the Firehouse Writers and Artists

The Firehouse Art Center is home to both practicing visual artists and writers. Annually for April, which is Month of Poetry, these writers and artists collaborate to present an ekphrasis based exhibit. Ekphrasis is a Greek word meaning “a literary device that describes a work of art.”. Ekphrasis in ancient Greece was the skill of describing a thing with vivid detail. Today, the term refers to writing in response to an artwork. The annual writers/artists exhibit expands on the definition of ekphrasis by having artists make artworks based on the works of authors as well as authors reacting to visual art.

Much like the game “Telephone”, subtle shifts in meaning may be accomplished by translating an author’s work into another language, giving both works multiple layers.

The exhibition will be on view in the South Gallery from April 3- April 19.

Artist Reading and Presentation: Friday, April 3- 6pm-8pm
- followed by a community potluck
