The Racial Unity Team is excited to share the 2021 Art & Poetry Challenge, an annual event hosted by the organization. Up to $2,000 in prize money will be awarded to winners in elementary, middle school, high school and adult categories of both art and poetry.

Adults and children are invited to submit an original poem or visual work of art inspired by a line they choose from Amanda Gorman’s Inauguration Poem, “The Hill We Climb.”

The deadline for submissions is September 1, and winners will be announced prior to the September 18-25 exhibit of all entries at the historic Exeter Town Hall Gallery. Click here for the full press release and flyer with more details. Or, visit the Racial Unity Team website.

We encourage you to take part in this exciting proof of the power of the arts to convey the meaning of racial diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. 

Please call 603-263-6511 with any questions.
