Nuneaton Museum and Art Gallery will be making a splash on Saturday 23 March when it hosts a Poetry Spa.
The immersive day of poetry reading and writing takes place at the Riversley Park building from 10:00am until 4:00pm and is presented by Nine Arches Press and the West Midlands Readers’ Network, supported by Writing West Midlands.
The day features poet Olga Dermott-Bond alongside regular Poetry Spa host, Roz Goddard. Prices range from £19 to £38 and a copy of Frieze by Olga is included in the ticket price.
The Spa also includes reading, friendly discussion, meditation, absorption in poetry and a creative writing workshop.
This workshop will be an opportunity to uncover the power of guests’ own experiences and enable them to create surprising, vivid and arresting self-portraits in poetry.
Cllr Sue Markham, Portfolio Holder for Public Services, said:
“We are delighted to be hosting this event and hope to see a lot of people attending.
“Taking inspiration from a wide range of poetry and works of art, this workshop will enable attendees to approach portrait in poetry in an interesting and exciting way.
“It will also encourage them to experiment with new styles and forms, giving fresh inspiration for writing.’’
While at the Museum, why not check out our temporary exhibitions.
“Different but the Same” by the Jeudis Textile Group is a showcase of the different ways textiles can be used to create art.
“Shores of the Infant Sea” by Rachel Shirley shows us exquisite illustrations allowing us to delve into wonderful children’s books.
