Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? Rowan County poets are invited to participate in the first Sidewalk Poetry Project! The Public Arts Commission (PAC) modeled the Sidewalk Poetry Project after St. Paul, Minnesota, Santa Clarita, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts programs. The goal of the project is to celebrate Rowan County poets and create a trail of poems within Salisbury’s downtown.
The project gives Rowan County residents the opportunity to display their own writing publicly, including poets who have not previously had public art experience. Local poets are encouraged to enter and be a part of public art in Salisbury!
There is no cost to enter and a $125 stipend will be given to poets upon completion. Entries will be accepted through Monday, April 28, 2025.
