Over the past eight months, ART WORKS writer in residence Kate Larsen has been using the Minor Works Building, its residents, and the surrounding community as inspiration for a series of short social-media poems.
Join Kate in a community poetry-athon to mark the end of her residency (from 12-4pm on Sunday 22 September), as she attempts to cover the walls of the Minor Works Building with poetry in the space of one afternoon.
The poetry-athon will be followed by an ART WORKS residency sharing and micro-poetry slam (from 4-5pm), where you can sign up to share your own short pieces of #AdelaidePoetry in one of the sixty-second slots.
ART WORKS is a program of residencies and creative workshops designed to provide a city-based platform for artists to pursue new ways of working and engaging with audiences. This initiative is delivered by Guildhouse in partnership with the City of Adelaide at the Minor Works Building.
