Studios on the Park to host ‘Poetic Prints’

Art exhibition is in partnership with Central Coast Printmakers and local poets

PASO ROBLES — Studios on the Park will feature an art exhibition in partnership with Central Coast Printmakers and local poets. The show, called “Poetic Prints,” will be held from May 3 to June 30 in the Atrium Gallery.

Each piece in the show will be displayed alongside the poem that inspired the art. Central Coast Printmakers used some of their personal favorite poetry selections, as well as recruited local writers to submit poems for the exhibit. The public is invited to a Poetry Reading on Sunday, May 19, from 2 to 3 p.m. and a Printmaking Demonstration with Barbara and Rosey Rosenthal on Saturday, May 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. The public is also invited to the opening reception of the exhibition on May 4, with another reception on June 1, both from 6 to 9 p.m.
