The Text Festival occupies
the boundaries between art and poetry,
examining the response of text artists and poets
to the substantial ambiguity of language.
A three-month programme of events held in Bury,
Lancashire throughout 2009, featuring exhibitions,
public art commissions, publications and performances
by internationally recognised practitioners and
some of the newest talents in the field.

This is the 2nd major British festival based on the idea
that
art can be read as poetry
and
poetry can be viewed as art.
The 2009 Text Festival invites proposals and submissions
To be announced.
