POETRY OUT LOUD

Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program that encourages the study of great poetry by offering free educational materials and a dynamic recitation competition for high school students across the country. This program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about literary history and contemporary life. An initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Out Loud is administered statewide by the California Arts Council.
 

The Marin Cultural Association is a state local partner for Poetry Out Loud, organizing the program in Marin County schools and hosting the county finals competition.

 

We want to invite you and your students to participate in this year’s competition!
