Palm Beach Poetry Festival to Receive $10,000 NEA Art Works Grant
"The arts are all around us, enhancing our lives in ways both subtle and obvious, expected and unexpected," said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. "Supporting projects like the Palm Beach Poetry Festival offers more opportunities to engage in the arts every day."
"We are very grateful to the NEA for their incredible support of the arts in general and of the Palm Beach Poetry Festival in particular," says PBPF Director Susan R. Williamson. "We look forward to working with the NEA to finalize the grant paperwork as we prepare for next year's event, which will include Special Guest Poet Charles Simic, a distinguished Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. Poet Laureate."
The 13th annual Palm Beach Poetry Festival will be held January 16-21 at Old School Square in Delray Beach. The Festival features top poets at numerous ticketed public events, including readings, talks, interviews, panel discussions and more. Nine workshops will be offered for which applications are required. The Palm Beach Poetry Festival is generously sponsored by The National Endowment for the Arts, Morgan Stanley, The Legacy Group of Atlanta; the Cultural Council of Palm County, the Palm Beach County Tourism Development Council and the Board of Commissioners of Palm Beach County; The Palm Beach Post; Visit Florida; WLRN; and Murder on the Beach, Delray Beach's independent bookseller.
