Elevator Poetry
The Elevator Dialogue Project is a forum, provided by the Spencer Museum of Art for an open dialogue with Poets/Writers about pieces within the Spencer collection, upcoming exhibitions, Art in general, artists or the elevator.
Submissions will be displayed in the elevator for a period of a month.
Submissions should be submitted in an MSWord document in 12 pt type and laid as you would like it to appear within our placard. Submissions should be of no more than 600 words and should be able to be read in the time it takes to ride the elevator on one or two trips. The writer is asked to identify the piece of art, or exhibition, that they have chosen to write about, so that we may provide a picture, as well as the provenance of the object chosen. For further information on submitting a piece, please see our Guidelines.
Submissions are to be rotated through as pieces/exhibitions are displayed at the Spencer.
Author will be asked to provide short bios as well as contact information, so that we can call and confirm information, spelling errors and layout. Space will also be provided on the placard as well as our webpage for links to the writer’s websites.
The Spencer will make all final decisions on the formatting and display of works submitted.
