Poetry was an important inspiration for the Abstract Expressionist painter Joan Mitchell. Join us for a 45-minute exploration of her work by reading poems and writing our own poetry. We will work individually and collaboratively to discover how poetry can provide new ways of seeing these works.

This session is led by Angela Garcia and Jane Royal.

This session is free for members and Museum admission ticket holders. No registration is required. Groups meet in the Marron Atrium, Floor 2.

FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.

Education at MoMA is made possible by a partnership with Volkswagen of America.

Major support for Adult and Academic Programs is provided by the Estate of Susan Sabel.

Generous funding is provided by endowments established by Agnes Gund and Daniel Shapiro, The Junior Associates of The Museum of Modern Art, Walter and Jeanne Thayer, and by the gifts of Alan Kanzer. Additional support is provided by the Annual Education Fund.

This event accompanies The Long Run.
