Odes & Offerings, A Collaborative Exhibit of Poetry and the Visual Arts

''Odes & Offerings'' was a unique collaboration between The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission Community Gallery, the City of Santa Fe Poet Laureate, Joan Logghe, and a host of talented local poets and artists. Conceived by Logghe in close consultation with The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission Community Gallery Manager, Rod Lambert, the original exhibit, which ran from March 23, 2012 to June 8, 2012, paired the work of local poets with visual artists. The results were more than just poetry-inspired artworks. Every piece became a true integration of poetry and form. With this rich, authentic cross-pollination at its core, ''Odes & Offerings'' became an event that brought the community of Santa Fe, New Mexico together around the spoken word and visual arts. This book serves as a lasting record of an inspired exhibit and the many outstanding individuals who made it possible.
