The Vashon Poet Laureate Program lives at the intersection of creativity and connection. Guided by Open Space for Arts & Community — an irrepressible force of collaboration and expression — the program honors a local poet, or poets, who serve(s) as a creative ambassador for Vashon, using language to illuminate, connect, and inspire. More than a title, the Poet Laureate embodies the spirit of YES! — uplifting community voices, telling our shared stories, and transforming everyday moments into art through words, performance, and presence.
