About this event

Cárdenas will lead three ekphrastic workshops at the day-long [mid(we)st] lit fest in conjunction with the 16th St. Open Studios (central location), the Racine Art Museum, and OS Projects Gallery. Participants can take the 45 minute workshop and then create an ekphrastic poem inspired by a work of art at any of the participating art galleries. There will be an opportunity near the day's end to read your poem aloud along with the other participants.

Tentative Schedule:

- 10am: 30-45m Ekphrastic workshop at 16th Street artist studios (I will be in a central location with art studios throughout the building)

- 1pm: 30-45m Ekphrastic Workshop at Racine Art Museum

- 3pm: 30-45m Ekphrastic workshop at OS Projects gallery

- 5-6pm: Read-back/sharing of ekphrastic poems at Hotel Verdant
