Typewriter Poetry Pop-up! with Ars Poetica

Wed, Nov 11 · 12:00 PM National Museum of African American History and Culture · National Mall

Experience the art of poetry through a personalized encounter with a poet and their vintage typewriter. Visitors are invited to share a thought, memory, or inspiration and receive an original poem written just for them. This unique experience offers a moment of creativity, reflection, and connection, along with a one-of-a-kind keepsake to take home. The poet will be stationed near The Mothership in the Musical Crossroads gallery on Level 4. This experience is open to all visitors on a first-come, first-served basis.

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening.
