Join the Smart Museum of Art and Poetry Foundation for a hands-on artmaking workshop that investigates how visual art and poems can “materialize” through interaction with the physical world.

Together, we will explore how ordinary materials used in extraordinary ways can shape and transform language, thought, and the artistic process. We'll begin with a guided tour of The Allure of Matter, followed by linguistic and artistic play. We will practice working with physical materials to craft original poems and new artworks you can take home!
