“It is a city of contradictions and concessions. A city of big dreams and gasoline. Of diversity and opportunity, of palm trees and the Pacific. A place where the people who call it home are inexorably shaped by it. The Poetry of Place features 16 visual artists and contemporary poets whose sense of place is entwined with their creative process.
Through this exhibition, a poem is composed. Each artist contributes their narrative, their memory and vision. 16 artists each creating a single line in a beautiful patchwork of perspective, a ballad about this place we share: Los Angeles.”
