Through our recent Ekphrastic Poetry workshop series, we were able to offer grounding/stability for our students by providing a weekly class with very unique art as inspiration, from a local art gallery that has been closed during Covid19, and art that no one is able to see. These workshops bring Art History to Poetry to Modern Art. During this time of social uprising due to injustice, racism, and also the pandemic.
