Over the past year, the Arts & Culture Commission has been discussing establishing a Poet Laureate Program. In October 2015, the Commission voted to create the program with the goal of issuing an RFQ for the first Poet Laureate during national poetry month in April, 2016. As outreach materials and the application process are developed, they will be made available on the City’s website.

If you have any questions about the any of the programs listed above please contact Suzanne Iarla, Assistant to the City Manager & Arts & Culture Commission staff liaison
