Guerilla Haiku’s San Antonian Residency!!
Artpace is an organization committed to bringing excellent local, national and international artists to San Antonio and giving them space and resources to create new work in the city (and engage the community in their process). They also organize one of the most ambitious community engagement efforts I have yet to experience: Chalk It Up, San Antonio. In this one-day-only event, tens of thousands of San Antonians come together to chalk up one of their major downtown streets. Artists make murals, teams from local schools and organizations create team pieces and everyone is invited to add to...

The Cleveland Public Theater (CPT) is one of those regional theaters that fully embrace their commitment to serving the needs of their community. And the Gordon Square Arts District is the multi-organization consortium (including CPT) that is revitalizing the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood of Cleveland. When Executive Artistic Director, Raymond Brobgan, contacted Guerilla Haiku in February to invite us to their yearly Party in Gordon Square to engage their Party-goers in Haiku-ing, I jumped at the chance. What better effort to support and celebrate but the coming together of a...
Read MoreGHM Dallas: December 1st, 2012
Thanks to the Dallas Flea, I had a place to start my Dallas adventures with ample inspiration! Jesse (aka the MOST amazing security guard in the universe) guarded my table against the hot Dallas wind that ripped through the South Side of Dallas at breakneck speeds. We wrote haiku about vendors, and small businesses over on Lamar- and tried to get them to play as well, but our most exciting moment happened between two sisters who initially needed parking, but returned to write haiku. The elder sister approached me and asked if she could write a sister-tribute. “I’ve been having a...

JT called me bright and early the morning of our big event in NYC last May. “Liz and I are in town, what are you up to?” he boomed in his jolly voice. Did I have an option for him! Two hours later he and Liz became members of Team West Village in the most ambitious Guerilla Haiku Event yet organized. They covered their neighborhood, involving a ton of random New Yorkers in Haikuing (including the two Argentinian basketball players featured here), and by closing ceremony, they were hooked: “You are coming to Dallas,” JT stated. He wasn’t kidding. JT is...

Hooray! On the Agenda: New Orleans and Orange, NJ and Manhattan, with Boston and another stint in Philadelphia in serious contemplation. Give us reasons to head your way, and we shall endeavor to do it! But first- New Orleans. Oh the magic...

The Haiku Mistress
Actor and educator, Caley Vickerman, discovered haiku in 6th grade and they remain to this day a favorite method of expression; simple, precise and immeasurably powerful. It became her fervent wish to create events that celebrated haiku (and humanity). Thus the Guerilla Haiku Movement was born! …And the Haiku Mistress gratefully continues to celebrate! 
We are the Guerilla Haiku Movement; a cadre of artists, fun-lovers, and fools that use sidewalk chalk and the ancient Japanese poetic tradition of Haiku to tell our stories and the stories of our communities inside of one moment. Check out our events page to join us in a city near you!
