Where art and poetry come together in a celebration of creativity, connection, and community! This year, the Art Meets Poetry event brings the full experience under one roof — the exhibition, opening reception, and live poetry showcase will all take place at the Collin County History Museum. Come be inspired, meet local creatives, and experience the magic that happens when visual art and spoken word meet.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll see pairings of artwork and poetry inspired by each other — a creative exchange where imagery and language interplay in compelling and unexpected ways. On Saturday, you’ll also have the opportunity to hear directly from the artists and poets as they share their work, process, and inspiration with the community. (Saturday speaker schedule TBA.)
