San Jose Museum of Art presents after-hours poetry invitational
April, National Poetry Month, brings many events around the Bay Area that celebrate the written word. Among them is the ninth annual Poetry Invitational hosted by the San Jose Museum of Art and Poetry Center San Jose.
The invitational on Thursday, April 19, is a special addition to the museum’s Third Thursday after-hours programming and features the work of local poets invited to respond to art at the museum. The poets are inspired by exhibitions including a collection of sculptures, paintings and photographs that explore the concept of the single-family home and paintings by landscape artist Raimonds Staprans.
