When artists put their heads together, anything is possible. Recently, five artists collaborated on a collective exhibition at the Roswell Visual Arts Center in an experience once musical, visual and poetic.

The centerpiece of the exhibition will be the paintings of Karl Kroeppler and Vincent Rinehart, all works made in collaboration between the painters, and depicting poetry of Dana Gioia, the renowned poet, past Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and former Poet Laureate of California.

In addition to the paintings, music by jazz pianist Helen Sung supports the poetry readings, and interpretations of the works in sculpture are contributed by Barbara Rinehart.
