Sponsoring poetry in New England since 1915, the New England Poetry Club presents readings by poets with ties to the New England states and annual poetry contests. Members of the NEPC benefit from being part of a community of poets, gathering for readings by members with new books, and participating in monthly writing workshops.
These poetry readings will be held in the Fruitlands Museum Art Gallery exhibition “Wind from the Hills.” Drawn from Fruitland’s permanent collection, the selection of artworks in this exhibition is inspired by select poems from Fruitlands Museum Founder, Clara Endicott Sears’ 1935 anthology “Wind from the Hills and Other Poems.” The galleries feature nineteenth century landscape paintings, folk art, Shaker textiles, and Indigenous artworks, revealing the complexities of Sears’ artistic interests while reviving her words through highlights of the collection.
Readings are free with admission to the Museum: $5 for nonmember adults, seniors, students, and children ages 5-13. There is no charge for Trustees Members or children under age 5. Please be sure to check in at the Museum Shop (white building) for your admission sticker before proceeding to the Art Gallery.
