The Parlor loves this idea and wants to play!

For 2008, seARTS will award six $1500 Partner With an Artist (PWA) artist grants to create work in response to Cape Ann’s literary history. seARTS envisions a series of public artworks using or responding to text from Gloucester’s recently deceased acclaimed Poet Laureate, Vincent Ferrini, renowned poet Charles Olson or the numerous other literary figures who lived in, visited, wrote about and were inspired by Cape Ann.
