"Poetic License – Art to Navigate a Beautiful, Messy World"

Visiting Artist Show 2025

Opening Night Reception

Saturday, October 4th, 5–8pm

ALG Fine Art - 1302 Dragon St, Dallas, TX 75207

To celebrate the opening of ALG Fine Art's Visiting Artists Show, we are hosting a special reception. You’re invited to join both our artists and the poet who inspired the artwork in this initial viewing of the show and have the first opportunity to acquire the artwork on display.

Join us for a vibrant evening featuring powerful, poetic, and deeply moving artwork inspired by poems from J.K. Kennedy’s acclaimed book Clumsy Beauty.


What to Expect:

  • Original work by 30 Visiting Artists, curated alongside ALG Resident Artists Anna Curnes and Christi Meril
  • First access to view and acquire stunning contemporary fine art in a wide range of sizes
  • Meet the Poet & Artists – mix, mingle, and hear firsthand how J.K. Kennedy’s poetry inspired their pieces
  • A powerful exploration of life’s contradictions through art – joy and sorrow, order and chaos, grief and gratitude

This year's show invites you to experience art as a tool for navigating our beautiful, messy world. The exhibit is inspired by four selected poems from Clumsy Beauty that call us to “hear the I Love You in everything.”
