Catamount Arts

Friday, April 10, 1-3pm (Early Release Day at St Johnsbury School)

Catamount Arts Center

Instructor: Abby Maier Johnson

In honor of National Poetry Month and as part of PoemTown St. Johnsbury, create your own poetry and visual artwork in one piece. Blackout poetry is a process of subtracting words from an existing text to express a new meaning. We’ll create artwork right on the page to illustrate the newly discovered poems.

Class fee: $20. Registration in advance is required. We are committed to offering high quality arts experiences for all students, regardless of ability to pay. If you need financial assistance, please contact Anne Campbell at 802-748-2600 ext 109 to learn about scholarships.
