National Poetry Day, 2019 - Central Otago
Come along to Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery to help create a Giant Community Poem.
As part of our 2019 National Poetry Day celebrations we have set up a huge blackboard in the foyer at Central Stories. People of all ages are invited to pop in between the 19th - 23rd August 10am - 4pm daily and contribute a word, a line, or a paragraph to an evolving poem. The final product will be published and recorded so help make it memorable!
Participation is FREE.
Hosted by the Central Otago District Arts Trust, Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery, Radio Central and The Poetry Party.
This event is kindly supported by Phantom Billstickers. http://www.nzbookawards.nz/national-poetry-day/2019-national-poetry-day/.
