About Us – Sidewalk Poetry
Welcome to Sidewalk Poetry, a creative initiative dedicated to bringing poetry to the streets, literally! Our mission is to turn the everyday sidewalks of our cities into a canvas for poetic expression, making art accessible to everyone who walks by.
Founded on the belief that poetry has the power to inspire, uplift, and connect people, Sidewalk Poetry works to embed short, meaningful poems into the sidewalks during routine maintenance or new installations. These poems are chosen from submissions by residents, reflecting the diverse voices and rich cultural heritage of the community.
We believe that poetry isn’t just for the page—it belongs in public spaces where it can surprise, delight, and provoke thought in unexpected moments of daily life. Our project transforms ordinary walks into journeys of discovery, where a simple stroll can turn into a moment of reflection, inspiration, or even healing.
Our work is supported by community collaborations, public art organizations, and the passion of local poets. Through our contests and community engagement, we encourage everyone, regardless of age or background, to contribute their voice to the collective story written on our city’s streets.
Join us in celebrating the power of words, the beauty of our shared spaces, and the joy of artistic expression that’s as close as the nearest sidewalk.
