Join MOCA for a pop-up poetry activation with Poesy on Friday, February 13 from 6–9 pm. Using a vintage typewriter, Poesy creates custom poems inspired by the stories, gestures, or moments you share. Your poem becomes a keepsake to take home with you.
Whether you come alone, with a friend, or with a partner, experience poetry unfolding in real time, surrounded by art and the energy of the museum. Make it a memorable start to your Valentine’s Day plans—why wait until Saturday? Let poetry, art, and a little inspiration extend the celebration into Friday.
