This show parallels The Langston Hughes Project, an LCCP Presents performance on February 28, and highlights artists working within book arts, text manipulations, spoken word, literature, and visual arts informed by text relationships. This will include teen poets and the 40 West Poet Laureate from 6-8 p.m.

I have had six paintings that feature text invited into this show by Lakewood Cultural Center Arts Curator, Laine Godsey. Thanks, Laine! It’s always so much fun working with you!
