Ekphrasis
Ekphrasis: Poetry, Music & Dance Inspired by Visual Art
We are back in 2023! Date TBD
ArtSpace Hartford Gallery, 555 Asylum Street
Originally created by poet and artist, Lorna Morris Cyr, Open Studio Hartford's poetry event has grown into an entertaining cross-over of unlimited art forms! “Ekphrasis” features spoken word and other performing arts, all depicting visual art displayed in the gallery.
Ephrasis is FREE and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. Donations are accepted.
No parking in ArtSpace Lot - park across the street at Union Station or free on the street.

In the future, when the city-wide Open Studio Hartford returns, additions to the PERFORMANCE ART WEEKEND will be accepted. Performance venues, performance artists, filmmakers, musicians, dance groups, etc. are asked to contact us with interest in participating to expand offerings for the weekend. Included have been a Cinematic Celebration hosted at Real Art Ways. We welcome your ideas!
