Haiku Poetry Contest

The Norman Arts Council and Public Arts Board announced a haiku poetry contest! Students in grades 3 - 8, living in Norman were invited to submit.

Haikus were be themed about the Walker Arts District in Downtown Norman. This is the area of downtown along Main Street from University Blvd to the East Main Street Roundabout and along the Railroad tracks from The Depot to the Central Library. 

Haiku's can be about any aspect of the Arts District - events, food, shopping, arts, etc. 

24 Haikus will then be selected to be converted to public art displayed on the light posts in the Walker Arts District! 

All submitted haikus will be exhibit at MAINSITE Contemporary Art during a fall 2022 2nd Friday Art Walk (exact date TBD). 

Rough rendering of the look and form the public art inspired by the haikus is expected to take on our Walker Arts District of Downtown Norman light poles.
