An Evening of Art, Poetry & Music
Art, poetry and music became the inspirational elements for creativity during this interactive event held on Saturday, February 9th in the Lakeview Suites at the Fairfield Community Center in Fairfield, California.
It was hosted by local poet Suzanne Bruce and artist Janet Manalo, authors of "Voices Beyond the Canvas," and included poetry by Sherry Sheehan and art by Robert Chapla, authors of "Across Currents." Music was provided by the Ray Zak Trio, local jazz musicians.
The four featured artists shared the creative processes that have led them in their collaborative efforts. Rekindling interest in ekphrasis (poetry inspired by art) with their unique and varying styles of art and poetry, they demonstrated the richness of combining the verbal with the visual. The audience viewed artwork, listened to poetry, enjoyed music, and shared their own expressions during an open-mic session.
This free event was funded in part by a grant from the City of Fairfield Cultural Arts Award Program and supported by the Fairfield Host Lions and Ledgewood Creek Winery.
