Museum as Muse

Poetry at the Anderson Collection
April 20, 2026  | 4-6:30PM

Join us at the Anderson Collection for an evening of poetry!

Bay Area poets and Stanford students share poems inspired by the Anderson Collection. Travel through the museum to hear poets read alongside the works that inspired them. Come learn about their process and write a little something of your own in response to prompts the poets will offer. We hope you'll go home with inspiration and the seeds of ekphrastic poems of your own!
