Garden State Watercolor Society Poetry Workshops

Inspired people of all ages joined poets Maxine Susman, Lois Marie Harrod and Dave Worrell at three poetry-writing workshops this summer at D&R Greenway in Princeton. Participants used the art of the Garden State Watercolor Society 53rd Annual Juried Exhibition - Migration: Movement for Survival, for inspiration to write ekphrastic poems (that is, poems inspired by works of art).

A public poetry reading event was held on September 21, 2023, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm.
