The Poetry Out Loud curriculum that AmadorArts is required to provide to all high schoolers in our county, coincides with Black History Month. Thus, AmadorArts is proud to present “ROOTS: A Black Literary Art Show”. Running online from February 8 through March 31, Roots will feature the very best of Black Poetry from all over the world. Using the Poetry Out Loud anthology for inspiration, Artists of all visual media are invited to submit visual art that honor, showcase, and uplift the works of Black Literary Artists throughout world history. Works will be presented in our online gallery.
Artists may include artist bio and statement, maximum 200 characters. Works may be for sale. If sold, 30% of sales price is a contribution to Amador County Arts Council. Image of artwork and complete Poetry Out Loud Entry Form (https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSc-TMEBk.../viewform) must be submitted by January 31st, no later than 11:59pm. No fee to enter show. This is part of the Poetry Out Loud Competition. Best in show will be awarded a $100 prize and the official Poetry Out Loud sweatshirt.
