Art & Poetry: Recap
Sunday’s WAA presentation at Westfield Town Hall, on the relationship between art & poetry, was both thought-provoking and challenging. Artist, teacher, and poet Michelle Greco led us through a truly interactive session that exposed us to innovative, visual approaches to poetry. And challenged us to try our own.
Michelle’s way of teaching is truly interactive, and she continually sought thoughts and ideas from the audience throughout her presentation. After an overview of the event’s subject matter, she opened our eyes to 3 distinctly different approaches to using visual imagery to create verbal art.
And with each new approach, we all had a chance to try our hand at it. We took turns sharing what we had created by reading it aloud, and the output was truly remarkable.
If you attended the event and have any thoughts you would like to share, please feel free to add your thoughts in the comments section below.

A New Partnership With Kean University
We are pleased to announce that we have been invited by Kean University to partner with their School of Communication, Media & Journalism in the facilitation of a new course on public relations for non-profit organizations.
Our Education Coordinator, Laura Brown, and president, Michael Endy, met this week with the student team we will be working with this semester.
This is an exciting new opportunity for our organization, and fits perfectly with our mission’s commitment to arts education in our community. We hope to see this blossom into a beautiful relationship.
