Have an idea for a workshop, author’s talk, art exhibition, performance, or other program to take place at, or in conjunction with, the Emily Dickinson Museum?
Please complete the proposal form below to tell us about your idea and how you want to serve and inspire public audiences.
Programs that are a good fit will realize or help further the Museum’s mission to spark the imagination by amplifying Emily Dickinson’s revolutionary poetic voice from the place she called home. Before submitting, please familiarize yourself with the Museum’s annual public programs. Proposed programs may be invited to occur as stand-alone events that add to the Museum’s breadth of offerings in a given year, or to be featured as a part of a pre-existing program. Submissions for in-person or virtual programs are welcome.
Timeline: We recommend submitting a proposal at least 1 year in advance of your ideal presentation time. We may not be able to consider programs occurring within a 6-month window from the time of submission. Program submissions are reviewed quarterly. A staff member from the Museum’s program team will respond to you after the submission has been reviewed.
Regular public programming at the Museum includes:
- Tell it Slant Poetry Festival & the Emily Dickinson Poetry Marathon
- Phosphorescence Contemporary Poetry Series
- Poetry Discussion Group
- Educator Workshop Series
- Poetry Walk
- Garden Days
- Birthday Open House
- Virtual Birthday Celebration
- And more!
Annual Tell it Slant Poetry Festival (September) & Phosphorescence Contemporary Poetry Series (April-September)
The Museum seeks proposals for these two programs through a separate annual call for submissions each winter. To apply for Phosphorescence or the Festival, wait until this call for submissions has been announced. Please do not use the general form below to express interest in these programs. Current calls for submissions can be found under Upcoming Events. Subscribe to the e-newsletter so you don’t miss the announcement!
