What do you get when you combine jazz, poetry, and paint? Something that is pretty fantastic! Inspiration can come from anywhere. Let jazz music inspire you to paint a poem that is filled with abstract imagery of brassy trumpets or the sadness of a cell. Painting a poem does not have to be about illustrating every word but about how the poem makes you feel.

Celebrate National Poetry Month and Jazz Appreciation Month with Jazz, Poetry, & Paint. Whether you write poetry, play an instrument, or sing, sign-up to perform during the open mic among friends or be inspired by the performers to create a masterpiece that you can take home.

This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited, and registration to attend is strongly encouraged. To register for the program or for more information, email Antuan Hawkins or call 336-335-5430.
