Drop in and let a poet write something just for you. Inspired by the exhibition Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias, poets from Beyond Baroque will craft personalized concrete poetry in response to your vision of an ideal home and community that you can take home with you.  

This free program takes place outdoors on the Smidt Welcome Plaza, but museum admission is required if you would like to view the exhibition Home of the Future.

This program is part of Third Weekends at LACMA, a monthly line-up of free and ticketed programs inspired by our collection and special exhibitions.
