The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities

This Summer, working on blank panels hung in all three Arvada Center galleries, artists will create murals in a variety of styles.

World War I inspired hope, despair, anger, anxiety, patriotic fervor, and more—all of which found its way into our most intense and powerful language, the language of poetry. In “War of Words,” actors lend their voices to long-dead poets, with the aim of helping us hear them as they were.
