Ars Nova Singers invites Colorado-based poets and writers to take part in Shared Visions, our interdisciplinary project connecting visual art, poetry, and choral music!

Participants are invited to view a curated gallery of 21 original artworks by Colorado visual artists and create new poetry inspired by one or more of the pieces. Selected poems will be used as the foundation for newly commissioned choral works, premiering in April 2026 as part of our Ruby Anniversary (40th) Season.

Submission deadline: September 1, 2025

Eligibility: Open to current Colorado residents or those born in the state

Honorarium: $500 for each poem selected by a composer for the final performance

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a chain of inspiration, linking images, words, and music in a performance that brings multiple artistic voices to life.
