Welcome to Art on the Prairie 2019. Art on the Prairie is a unique festival that celebrates art, music, poetry, and the joys of small town living. This year's poetry event will be Saturday, November 9 from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Poem submission deadline: September 20, 2019.
At this point we anticipate that each poet will read for 20 to 25 minutes. Applications will be reviewed by the Poet's Corner sub-committee, and readers will be selected based on the aesthetic merits of the poems submitted and the suitability of the poems for oral delivery to an intimate audience. We do ask you to keep in mind when applying is this: Art on the Prairie is a family event and younger children may be in attendance at the readings.
Again, the poem submission deadline is September 20, 2019. Applicants will be notified of their status soon thereafter. Once applicants have been notified, please see our website for specifics about event times. The space for the poetry reading has changed this year! It will be held in a readily accessible space in the Perry Public Library. Poets will be listed under the menu heading "Art on the Prairie 2019", then the sub-heading link below it "Performing Arts". Your schedule needs to be flexible enough to work with the time assigned you to read.
Please spread the word! The poetry event is being moved to a larger space in a more traveled venue, and we really want spoken word poetry to become a heavily attended part of Art on the Prairie.
