Citrus Campus to Display Poetry-Inspired Art

Cf

College of Central Florida issued the following announcement on Sept. 13.

A new local art exhibit consisting of paintings and sculptures will open Oct. 4 at the CF Citrus Campus.

The “Blackbird Bound: Visual Verses” exhibits the work of six local artists inspired by the haiku-inspired poems of Wallace Stevens. Artwork will be on display from Oct. 4 through Dec. 3 at the Citrus Campus, 3800 S. Lecanto Highway.

Through paintings and sculptures, the artists have reimagined Steven’s “13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” which explores different ways of seeing and perceiving the world. This delightful exhibit displays selected artworks alongside Stevens’ poems, pairing art with literature. Visual sensations in the poems and artworks include winter landscapes, geometry, and fairy tales. All play with point of view and perception.

There is no fee to view the exhibit, which is on display in the upper level of the Dorothea Jerome Building. Viewing hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exhibit will be closed during the weekend. For more information contact Michele Wirt, Visual Arts and Humanities faculty, at 352-746-6721, ext. 6131, or email wirtm@cf.edu.
