Wordsmith: A Def Poetry Reunion Honoring Ursula Rucker

Join us for a magical evening that celebrates the art of poetry, music, and community at Wordsmith: A Def Poetry Reunion presented by Danny Simmons in partnership with Grounds For Sculpture (GFS).

Experience the essence of creativity as we gather for our 3rd annual celebration featuring live music, inspiring voices, and visual art, including the spectacular 20-foot vessel Put Yourself in the Picture by Roberto Lugo. ✨

This monumental sculpture serves as a centerpiece, named after KRS-One's powerful verse from Def Poetry Jam: "Visualize wealth and put yourself in the picture." Immerse yourself in our 42-acre sculpture park adorned with diverse artistic expressions and the vibrant energy of Def Poetry alumni, musicians, activists, students, and scholars. 🎶

Wander through the gardens and delight in an unforgettable evening under the stars, indulging in visual arts, music, and delicious offerings from food trucks. 🍴🌿

Seating is limited, so feel free to bring your lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy this open-air experience.

📣 Don’t miss the pre-event talk from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM followed by live music from DJ ItsJustAhmad kicking off at 7 PM, and captivating performances from 8 to 10 PM.
