The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is looking for local poets to collaborate on our 4th annual Big Read event! This is in participation with the LA Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment of the Arts, and will take place in Spring 2017.

We're looking for poets who are inspired by experiences, places or local history in the San Fernando Valley to create original poetry, to be performed in an open, community setting. This may either be in the style of a "poetry walk" or at a single location in the San Fernando Valley. Songwriters are invited, too!

We also need collaborators to assist with coordinating this event, reaching out to local businesses and community organizations, and event promotion. Please contact us if interested!

About The Museum of the San Fernando Valley

Location:

18860 Nordhoff Street, Suite 204, Northridge, CA 91324, US

Mission Statement

Our goal is to serve the San Fernando Valley's residents, businesses, students and tourists alike, promoting "in-tourism" and providing support for all of the Valley’s cultural and historical organizations. We are, and will continue to grow, as an institution that explores art, history and culture in every new and exciting way possible. In 2014, we secured a permanent full-service museum headquarters and exhibition space in Northridge, to house and expand our collections. The Museum Board anticipates satellite venues throughout the Valley and a strong internet presence to expand our educational reach on an infinite level.

Description

The Museum of the San Fernando Valley straddles two worlds. While our role is to preserve, document and celebrate the past, using our acquisitions to educate and enlighten, our vision is to present continually changing exhibitions interactively, in a manner worthy of this great creative community that shapes contemporary culture worldwide. We eagerly embrace new concepts and technologies that showcase the past in a fresh light. In some instances, we will bring The Museum right to the people. In others, the experience may be virtual.
