The public is invited to enjoy “Voices in Poetry” at the Elverhoj Museum of History & Art on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 2 PM.

To inspire others, Cronin and Bosselaar will read selections of their accessible and moving poetry. This free event is open to the public on a first come seating basis and is appropriate for listeners of all ages. While at the museum, stop in the gallery and see Cronin’s sculptures, wall pieces and poetry currently on display. Explore the theme of the show, Fables, Foibles and Fairytales, and what it is to be human. Her playful bronze sculptures and other media are bound to evoke narratives in the viewers’ minds and make them take a second look. The exhibit has something for both art and poetry lovers and you may even learn about the bronze casting process. Many of Cronin’s popular works are available for sale.
