About Us

“The Poetry Festival” was created to provide inspiration, joy, and connectivity for the community through poetry. The event was proposed to the Greater Columbus Arts Council, by a poet and artist, where it was community reviewed and approved for funding. The festival will take place over the course of two days in partnership with the Columbus Museum of Art on Saturday, September the 28th, and in partnership with the Grange Insurance Audubon Center on Sunday, September the 29th. The two day event will include poetry performances, workshops, vendors, and poetry-inspired art experiences. This includes a workshop and performance Saturday by Ohio Poet Laureate Kari Gunter-Seymour. With over a dozen featured poets scheduled to perform in the heart of downtown Columbus, this event will be one for the books.

 

This is a free event with registration.
