Submit Now through January 31: 30 Days of Inspiration

Free

Coming Up!

April: 30 Days of Inspiration, 2023

The submission link will be active January 15-31.

Poets and artists are invited to share original work with the community through a poem-a-day matched with an artwork-a-day for every day in April, in celebration of National Poetry Month and hosted by the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County.

Submissions will be accepted January 15-January 31, 2023. The submission link will be active during that time.

April: 30 Days of Inspiration seeks poems and art that explore what strengthens, connects, revives or calms—from small, seemingly ordinary moments to dramatic occasions, broad landscapes, and abstractions. A different poem matched with a different artwork will be featured on ACCBC social media each day of April, 2023. Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County will curate the exhibition.

COMPLETE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Poetry and artwork submissions will be accepted from January 15-31, 2023. The submission link will be active during that time.

Artists and writers do not have to be residents of Bucks County or members of the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County to participate. Submissions from new, emerging, and established artists are welcomed. We especially encourage submissions from historically underrepresented voices in arts communities, and we celebrate the full expression of all identities.

Donations to the A&CCBC and new memberships are encouraged to support our work, but there is no submission fee for this project! Join us!
