After a month of poetry, art, and inspiration, the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs (NMDCA) is thrilled to announce the winners of its inaugural Ekphrastic Poetry Contest!
In preparation for National Poetry Month in April, New Mexicans had the opportunity to write and submit poems inspired by 10 works of art from the collections of NMDCA institutions across the state. More information about the contest is available HERE.
