Home for the Holidays Poetry Program

It is well known that the Ford family championed the arts in and around Detroit. They also made significant contributions to organizations that supported families in the area. In honor of this legacy, Ford House announces a call for entries of poems to be published and distributed as part of Home for the Holidays at Ford House, November 30-December 22. Additionally, Ford House will make a contribution to The Family Center of Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods and encourage our visitors to do the same.

**This opportunity has closed** Chapbooks will be printed and available November 30-December 22. 

You can purchase Home for the Holidays at Ford House tickets here.

For Guests

As you explore Ford House’s festive spaces, watch for select poems thoughtfully placed in historic rooms where their themes echo the warmth and spirit of the season. Poems will also be showcased digitally on Ford House’s social media and screens at the Visitor Center, creating a multimedia experience of student expression.

Be sure to take home a chapbook as a keepsake and join us in celebrating the voices of our future.
