Double Take: Art & Literature Together. Jan 20-March 27. Open Thursdays through Sundays 1-5pm. Reception is Sat Jan 22 from 1-3:30 and a second reception TBD.

Livermore Arts presents a collaboration with Cynthia Patton, Livermore Poet Laureate, to bring a pairing of art and literature to Livermore. The artwork on display will sing to the heart, evoke a flair for the dramatic, wax lyric, and offer a rhythmic cadence. Each artwork will have a poem or short verse from area writers’ groups framed and on display next to the art that it inspired or conversely, viewers will see artwork that was inspired by a poem created for the artist.
