Art & Words: Art and Poetry Inspiring One Another features both poems and art that has inspired, or is inspired by, works featured in the exhibit. “This is a true collaboration between regional poets and artists,” says gallery owner, Robert Langdon. “Both poets and artists submitted existing work. The artwork went to the poets and poetry went to the artists. They then made their own choice from the submissions to use as inspiration for a new work of art or poem. The results will be exhibited side by side.”
Both poets and artists whose work is on display are from the Hudson Valley and New York metropolitan area and all were invited to partake in this collaboration.

Participating artists include: Geta Badea, Ed Berkise, Lesley Bodzy, Jean Campbell, Shelley Davis, Andrea Geller, Yvette Lewis, Linda Lynton, Marjorie Magid, Ann Morris, Tina Piccolo, Elaine Ralston, Yvonne Rojas-Cowan, Ken Tannenbaum, Grace Troxell and jd weiss. Participating poets are: Lucinda Abra, Ad Augeri, Michelle DeCicco, Monica Fiorentini, Gwynneth Green, Mikko Harvey, Elizabeth Shafer, Ana C. H. Silva, and Anique Taylor. Contributing as both artist and poet are Loel Barr, Natalie Boburka, Jack Braunlein, Jean Campbell, Theresa Landi Daniel, Josepha Gutelius, Robert Langdon, Ellen McKay, and Will Nixon.

“This is my favorite show of the year,” explains Langdon. “It’s the only show where I have accepted half of the work without it even being created. That makes me nervous, but I fully trust the artists and poets that I have invited to participate and I’m never disappointed with the results.”

The art and poetry, normally displayed at the physical gallery in April, will be exhibited virtually this year and extended through May. “Art and poetry can heal our souls, and right now we need some healing,” said Langdon. “I’m pleased to be introducing the art and poetry that participants worked so hard to create to a world wide audience. Hopefully it will provide some comfort when we need it most.”
