Join Del Ray Artisans and SPARK: art from writing/writing from art as we embark on an artistic journey that pushes boundaries. This show is a first for Del Ray Artisans: seventy-two artists signed up to respond to poems and prose by seven SPARK writers. Each artist received one written piece (their creative “spark”) and then created new artwork using the assigned story or poem as a jumping off point. Also, Greenbriar East Elementary students created artwork inspired by selected writers.
