Poetry Paths has received proposals from two artists for an installation to occur near the main entrance of the Fulton Theatre, 12 N. Prince St.  The proposals will be on display in the lobby during the Fulton’s Youtheatre performances this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If you happen to be attending, we welcome you to search out our display and submit your vote and comments.
Poetry Paths has solicited proposals from two mural artists for the installation to occur at the Spanish American Civic Association (SACA). Â We are currently collecting public comments. If you are part of the SACA community, we welcome you to submit your vote and comments. Go to the lobby at 545 Pershing Ave today until Monday, July 25.
A lively group of partners from both the sites and the schools joined us and our primary funders, Lancaster County Community Foundation, and Franklin & Marshall College, for a reception on June 14. It was a time for introductions among all parties involved with the hope that new professional and organizational relationships might be built or strengthened as we all work in various ways to build a stronger city.
Call for Poetry – Keystone Arts & Culture Center (click link for complete information)
Poetry Paths seeks original poems by living poets from Lancaster to be integrated into a piece of public art permanently displayed at Keystone Arts & Culture Center.
AWARDS — Two poets will be chosen; each will receive $250.
DEADLINE — May 31, 2011, midnight
SITE & THEME — Keystone Culture & Arts Center is located at the intersection of Pearl Street and Prangley Avenue, in the heart of the southwest quadrant of Lancaster City. We are looking for poems that speak, obliquely or directly, to themes of welcome, possibility and opportunity. In this way, we hope the poems will allude to the way Keystone’s neighborhood and its residents have changed and adapted over time.
The public art, to be designed and fabricated by Keystone, will bring together the collaborative efforts of several artists, reflect community input, and provide reference to Lancaster’s rich heritage in the arts.
ELIGIBILITY — Open to living poets of any age (including youth poets) who live or have lived in Lancaster, PA.
“Lancaster’s art scene is making exciting strides in telling the world more about what makes us an “arts destination.” Through a new regional advertising campaign that launched this month, articles and posts about the arts in Lancaster have already appeared in Harrisburg, Baltimore and Philadelphia. . .”
