The Spencer’s Elevator Dialogue Project provides a forum for an open dialogue with poets/writers about works within the Spencer collection, exhibitions, art in general, specific artists, or even the elevator itself.
If you have a poem of your own, or know of an existing poem that you think would be appropriate for the Project, the Museum invites you to make a submission for consideration.
Works should be submitted in an MSWord document, set in 12-point type, and laid out as you would like it to appear. Submissions should be of no more than 600 words. The writer should identify the subject or artwork 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.
Authors should also 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 makes all final decisions on the formatting and display of poems submitted.
