About The Light Ekphrastic

For each issue, writers and artists are paired, each creating a new poem, story, photograph, painting or other piece of artwork inspired by work previously submitted by their partner artist. 

Curated by the editor, this exhibit celebrates the completion of over 50 issues of The Light Ekphrastic and will feature works by artists who have contributed over the years. 

The Light Ekphrastic was founded by editor Jenny O’Grady in 2010 as a way of inspiring friends who hadn’t written or made art in a while to get back into practice. It has since grown to attract contributors from all over the world, and to include occasional forays into public spaces beyond the web including here at HoCo Arts.
