After I looked up “solar eclipse” earlier this year, the algorithm began feeding me periodic social media alerts about comet near-misses, stars, and planets lately. It’s piqued my interest in the county museum’s events, including this one with Las Vegas Astronomical Society and Commissioner Jim Gibson, during which telescopes will be provided to attendees.

Poems can be inspired by just about anything, and that, obviously, includes works of art. Those poems are known as ekphrastic poetry. In this final workshop of three, beginning and experienced poets are invited to use artworks from Left of Center’s collections to inspire their own ekphrastic poems.
Join writer Lauren Gleave to explore the works in the African Art Museum at LOC. Poets will gain inspiration by their interactions with the art, their movement through the space, and the emotions that surround that experience of communing with visual art pieces.
Registration is required. Full description available by clicking on "Get Tickets."
Note that the African Art Museum inside the Left of Center Art Gallery is accessible only by stairs.
