Artists’ Reception: Oct. 10, 5:00-6:30 p.m.

Mimi Czajka Graminski (visual artist) and Sarah Stern (poet) arrived at their pairings with the colors and shapes and the magnetic pull between the two art forms: visual art and poetry. Inevitably the conversation would go beyond the initial connection, to the very experiences that shaped the art and poems—the natural world, on being a woman in mid-life, family, on losing parents, on jobs, bonfires, and so much more. To the artists, these pairings feel personal and political, and the process by which they came together, deeply mysterious and humbling.
