Attention Poets! To celebrate the opening of the Auburn Arts & Culture Center later this year, we want to create a digital chapbook of poems about the local art of Auburn, WA. We ask that you submit no more than two poems, based on the local sculptures throughout our fair city. You can get ideas and find some of the many pieces here: Public Art Programs – City of Auburn (auburnwa.gov) and also here: Downtown Sculpture Gallery – City of Auburn (auburnwa.gov). City of Auburn Poet Laureate James Rodgers will select the favorite poems and compile them to correspond with the Arts & Culture Center opening. All poems must be your original work. Good luck, and have a great time exploring Auburn!

Deadline for poetry submissions: June 30th, 2022
