RANGELEY — Rangeley Lakes Regional School High School Students recently participated in the national Poetry Out Loud competition held at the RFA Lakeside Theater. As part of their participation in the event, each student created a piece of art in response to their poem.
The original artworks will be displayed alongside the poems in an exhibit at the Lakeside Contemporary Art Gallery in the lobby of the RFA Lakeside Theater, 2493 Main St. from Feb. 15 to 29.
There will be an opening reception to meet the students and to engage them about their work at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, which will include snacks and a cash bar. The reception is free and open to the public.
The exhibit is in conjunction with The Kitchen Table story-telling presentation that same evening at 7 p.m.,, during which selected students will present their poems.
The Kitchen Table is an evening of personal storytelling and poetry, directed by Tim Straub.
