Finding Joy in Lyons

Here in Lyons, we are so fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful views and inspiring visual art. Now, the Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission (LAHC) is calling all area poets to submit poems inspired by a similar theme “Finding Joy and Beauty in Lyons” for its inaugural Lyons Poetry in Public Places project.

What does it mean to you, in your everyday life, in your memory, in your heart to find joy and beauty in Lyons?

Put those thoughts on paper in an artful way. LAHC members will serve as judges. Prizes will be award and poems will be selected to be exhibited on posters that will be displayed throughout the Town of Lyons. Learn more!
