What is Ekphrasis?
Ekphrasis is writing that describes or explains other art. For the Ekphrasis Exhibit 2024, members of the California Writers Club – Mt. Diablo will author a piece of writing in response to the Artist’s artwork.
Poetry, prose, memoir, and all genres may be included.
- Offer some sensory detail in your work
- Think about whether there is a theme involved as a point of focus
- Does the work tell a story, or does it have some enticing pull that provokes the
- imagination or tugs emotionally?
- What inspired you to create it? Is this reflected in your written response?
Authors written responses will be hung next to the relevant artwork, as a pairing. Artists who are interested in responding in writing to artwork, may do so by joining CWC Mt. Diablo Branch or Lamorinda Arts Council. Authors who are interested in submitting artwork for consideration may do so as members of Lamorinda Art Alliance or Lamorinda Arts Council.
