Event: Poets, It’s Time to Submit: Ars Poetica 2026 Is Now Open for Entries

Calling all poets in Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson, Clallam, Gig Harbor, and the Key Peninsula — it's time to start poeting!

Ars Poetica 2026 is now accepting poetry submissions through December 31, 2025. If your work is selected, a local visual artist will choose your poem and create a new piece in response using their medium of choice, whether that’s painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, or beyond. Together, you’ll become part of an exciting collaboration showcased this coming spring during Ars Poetica exhibitions and events throughout the region.

To submit, scan the QR code or visit arspoeticawa.com for full details and submission guidelines. You may enter up to three original poems for consideration.

With over 25 member artists at Collective Visions Gallery ready to engage with your words, we can’t wait to see what creative sparks fly this winter.

Submit your poetry by December 31 and join the conversation between word and image.
