Join Dallas Poetry Slam poets to collaborate on a community mural project using poetry. Our WRITE to Shine is a two-day event inspiring individuals to express themselves through the literary arts. This event will combine the art of spoken word performance and writing to encourage the audience to add words or sentences to a collaborative artwork celebrating Black history and culture.
Dallas Poetry Slam will facilitate this amazing event with poetry written and performed by professional poets. Hear Dallas-based spoken word poets recite a poem every hour on the hour: noon, 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m.
This is a drop-in activity with hourly performances from noon to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
