Poetry in the Windows is a project of the Arroyo Arts Collective, a grassroots
non-profit organization of visual, literary and performing artists in
the Northeast Area of Los Angeles. The aim of the two projects organized
by the Collective (in 1995 and 1997) is to bring contemporary poetry
to the public and passersby. Funded by a grant from Lannan Foundation
and supported by the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce, Poetry in the
Windows placed poem posters in the windows of merchants along Figueroa
Street, the main shopping district of Highland Park. Twenty poets
were selected by a jury of Los Angeles poets: Carol Lem, Bill Mohr,
and AliciaVogl-Saenz. Poem posters were displayed with translations
into one of the many languages spoken in the neighborhood. Poetry in the Windows II Poetry in the windows is a project of the Arroyo Arts Collecitve in cooperation with the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce. Poetry in the Windows is made possible in part by a generous grant from Lannan Foundation
