Poetry for the HART is a special teen poetry program of the Town of Huntington's Public Art Initiative, presented in cooperation with Teenspeak (co-lead agency) and other community agencies.  Periodically a townwide open call for entries is distributed to area school and youth groups requesting submission of short poems (10-30 lines) written by Huntington teens (ages 14-18).  Submitted poems are reviewed by a panel composed of area poets, community youth group leaders, and representatives of the Town's Public Art Advisory Committee.  The winning poems are displayed on 11x24" placards in the interior advertising spaces of buses in the Town's HART system for a minimum of one year.  (Click on the image to enlarge and obtain more information.) 

For information on upcoming Poetry for the HART events, please check the calendar of events on the home page.  The latest entry form can be found under "Cultural Affairs" in the Online Library.

Use the SEARCH window to further narrow your search by artist's name, medium, hamlet, or type of ownership (i.e. Town, Other Public [e.g. County, State, or Federal], Non-profit, Private, or Unknown).
