ARTISTS and poets from Broadford to Bendigo gathered last Thursday night for the first evening of Poetry to Picture, a joint venture between artists and poets in the greater Bendigo area.<\/p>\n

The event was part of a project by Creative Heathcote, a platform where local creatives can connect, share their ideas and keep up-to-date with local creative events.<\/p>\n

“Poetry to Picture is a new opportunity for collaborative creativity, beginning with the selection and reading of inspirational poems by local writers,” said co-host Amanda Collins.<\/p>\n

Christine Haddrick was one of the local poets who read their work on the night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Twelve poets had their poems selected, and many were on hand to share their work at the reading evening, hosted by the Wine Hub, Heathcote.”<\/p>\n

Introducing the evening, co-host Deb Wain spoke about the quality of the submitted work.<\/p>\n

“If the poets are waiting for some kind of sign to get their work out to a wider audience, consider this your bolt of lightning or whatever you seek as advice from the universe.”<\/p>\n

Local artists, many of whom were also in attendance celebrating the local authors, are now invited to respond to works that appeal to them in whatever small-works format they choose.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Poets read or had their work read to an audience of artists who are now invited to respond to the poems in their chosen artform.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Images of completed works need to be submitted by Saturday 4 October, and if selected, will be exhibited at The Wine Hub from Thursday 16 October for at least eight weeks.<\/p>\n

“We are so lucky to have such an enthusiastic team of poets and artists here in Heathcote,’ said Ms Collins.<\/p>\n

“It makes for such a warm and collaborative space.”<\/p>\n

Artists who would like to see the poems with a view to responding to them can email creativeheathcote@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
