Visual art and poetry come together on Saturday March 13, 2010 for an inspired evening of artistic collaboration at the Garfield Park Arts Center. Meet the artists, hear live poetry readings, and enjoy refreshments. See how art can inspire art as you read poetry and see paintings with shared themes in this exhibit coordinated by Indianapolis-based author and artist, Lylanne Musselman.
