The Sitka Center for Art + Ecology is gearing up for its biggest event yet featuring Ada Limón, the U.S. Poet Laureate. The event, set for May 20 at the Nestucca K-8 School, represents a significant milestone for the small coastal community. Executive Director Alison Dennis noted that the invitation to Limón came after her inspiring interview on NPR, aligning with Sitka's mission of bridging the gap in arts education in rural areas. The community hopes the event will resonate with the audience, celebrating the value of individual voice and creativity.
"We are above and beyond thrilled. Ada responded with generosity and excitement, highlighting Sitka's mission of connecting people to art, nature, and community."
"Art and nature are both ways of paying deep attention. I hope that people who attend leave the event knowing their words matter, their imaginations matter."
