Grand Valley State University (Allendale) was awarded a $15,000 grant for “Poetry Night: Academic Lecture; Art Exhibit and Lecture.” The project will include three public humanities programs: 1) a poetry night with two poets and discussion moderated by Grand Valley State’s poet-in-residence, followed by a book signing and reception; 2) an academic lecture followed by conversation with the audience; and, 3) a month-long art exhibit and a visit to Grand Valley State by artist Rana Shalabi. Ms. Shalabi paints watercolors of both ancient and modern Egyptian sites and she will present a public lecture where she shares her perspective on her art, its place in the world, and the public experience of it.
