In keeping with our commitment to encourage and support local artists, CAA in partnership with Cromwell Belden Library will hold a Poetry reading event on September 23, 2023. We are looking to spotlight local artists and their written work. If you are a writer or aspiring writer thirteen years or older, we are looking for you to participate.

• Event will take place Saturday September 23, 2023 at 11:00 am.

Note: copies of the registration/release form will also be available at Cromwell Belden Library.

The event will consist of the artists reading their submissions followed by a “talk back” where we can ask questions of the artists.

There will be light refreshments served.
