The One Line Collective

is an art exhibit of poetry. Visual artists were given a book that contained 38 poems, each poem being only one line (like a haiku, only shorter). Each artist chose a poem and created work that was either inspired by the poem, used the poem as the title, or incorporated the text into the work itself.

  • You may download the (love open hand) book of poetry here.

    The collection of work covers a wide range of visual art mediums, including oil painting, textiles, found art, installations, photography, graphic design, stained glass, book and paper arts.

    It’s a amazing group of artists, and a stunning variety of work.
