Roses are red. Violets are blue. Who can be a poet? You! You! You! Join us as Family Day @AMP celebrates National Poetry Month. Visual art collides with poetry as you play with words across different media. Activities include large- scale collaborative kinetic poetry modeled after refrigerator poetry kits, junk journal creation, and found poetry collage. Anyone can be a poet, even if you don't know it!

AMP’s Family Days are supported by the generosity of the Comis Foundation and Torrington Savings Bank. The Teen Art Studio is made possible in part by Torrington Savings Bank Foundation.
