🎨📖 Poetry Inspired by Art—and brought a wonderful crowd together!

Glastonbury Arts members submitted original artwork to a panel of writers, who used the pieces as inspiration for original poems.

Led by Glastonbury Poet Laureate Victoria Nordlund, the 9th annual presentation brought a wonderful crowd to Wells-Turner Memorial Library. Guests learned about the artworks, heard the poems, and discovered how the art inspired the poetry.

👏 Thank you to the artists, writers, and everyone who joined us!
