Angels Gate Cultural Center is collecting children’s chapter books to use during Arts + Exploration Field Trips. Your donation will help hundreds of students create blackout poetry (where a poet takes an existing text and uses a marker to “black out” most of the words, leaving a select few that form a new poem) inspired by work in the gallery’s current exhibition, Sustainers of Life.
