Flex your creativity in this mashup of visual and literary arts. Blackout or Erasure Poetry is a form of found poetry where the creator removes words from texts like; newspaper clippings or old book pages; to create something new. Some creators simply black out the words they do not need, while others create drawings around them and make them illegible in other ways, leaving behind a few choice words to create a poem, and a visual art piece to go along with it.
What will you create?

Scugog Arts
Scugog Arts is a creative hub: awakening, inspiring, and connecting you to all the arts. We are an arts space on Queen Street in Port Perry with Resident Artists, monthly exhibitions, and workshops for artists and visitors. Scugog Arts also organizes and hosts multi-arts cultural events, literary programs, festivals, and tours.
Scugog Arts connects the community with public art displays such as our Art You Can Sit On, a memorial to Bill Lishman, ceiling tiles for the hospital, and live theatre and music in the back lot.
Scugog Arts is funded by individual donors, Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, Vos’ Independent Grocery, Old Flame Brewery, Canadian Tire Port Perry, Central Counties Tourism, and the Canada Summer Jobs program of the Government of Canada. Fundraising efforts always focus on unique ways and various arts disciplines with engaging entertainment for supporters.
