2023 Calendar...It’s a real beauty!
When my daughter was little, I began taking her to the Standing Rock Cultural Arts Center in Kent. I enrolled her in a number of art classes and workshops, we went to art openings, and we participated in many of their events. It always was fun to be there, but what I particularly appreciated was the way Standing Rock fed her avid interest in creating her own artwork.
Standing Rock Cultural Arts is now celebrating its 30th anniversary, and they are doing so with—among other things—a beautiful 2023 calendar that features artwork and poetry by local artists and writers.
I am honored to have my poem “1964” included in this gorgeous calendar (and with fantastic poets: Marion Starling Boyer and Barbara Sabol, Julie Marchand, Adam Brodsky, Luba Gawur, Virginia Dunn (who passed away in 2004; her husband, Charles Dunn, submitted on her behalf), Charlene Lyon, Karen Schubert (also executive director of Lit Youngstown), Kim Rivers, Jacquie L. Peoples Dukes, Terry Murcko, and Katie Daley).
The artwork is equally impressive; a different artist created artwork for each month of the year.
Plus...for people who live in or who travel to Kent...key dates are noted throughout. There are the “typical” days of note (holidays, first day of summer, etc.) as well as reminders for special events throughout the year (art exhibits/openings, various festivals, outdoor cinema events).
