Haiku Poetry Featured on Lexington's Storefront Windows; Celebration Event July 12

This spring Lexington Council for the Arts sponsored a large-scale public art project, which brings original haiku poetry to storefront windows up and down Massachusetts Ave. Known as the Neighborhood Haiku Project, it links Lexington Center and East Lexington. The dynamic installation will be on view through September.

Community members and others submitted over 200 haiku poems. The jurors who specialized in haiku poetry selected 35 poems. Children wrote six of the winners. The 35 haiku poems are hand-painted on storefront windows here in Lexington.

On Tuesday, July 12, 6-8 PM, Lexington will celebrate its haiku winners with live music by Betty’s Bounce, a jazz trio performing American and Gypsy Jazz, folks reading their haiku poems and tours of the storefront haiku. 

Visit the Council for the Arts' website for more information and to see the list of participants.
