Summer Seminar of the Arts Papers
Biographical/Historical Information
The Summer Seminar of the Arts was an annual arts and literary festival
held in Montgomery from 1969 until 1983. The Seminar was part of the
Montgomery Arts Guild, an organization which was active in promoting and
sponsoring cultural events. Held during July, the Seminar hosted readings by
notable poets, offered creative writing workshops, held creative writing
contests, and featured musical performances. The Seminar would close each
year with a banquet honoring the visiting poets. The papers were assembled
by Jack Mooney.
Mooney, a former member of the U.S. Army Air Force and college professor,
moved to the Montgomery area in 1953 with his wife Jen and two sons. He
worked as a writer/editor with the U.S. Air Force Extension Course Institute
at Gunter AFB, which is an annex of Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama.
Mooney later served as the Managing Editor of the Air University Review for
approximately 20 years.
Jack and Jen Mooney became actively involved with the Montgomery Arts
Guild upon their arrival. As an avid reader of poetry, Jack Mooney began
organizing poetry readings and other literary events through the Guild. The
events were well received in Montgomery, especially with members of the
local literary community. He would serve as chairman of the Literary Arts
Committee from 1970-83.
In 1970, the Summer Seminar of the Arts Council organized the first formal
Summer Seminar of the Arts. Convening during the month of July, many of
the activities were held on the campus of Huntindgon College. To facilitate
the events, a venue called the Down Funky Street Coffee House was created
within Delchamps Hall to serve as a relaxed and informal meeting place. The
Down Funky Street Coffee House venue was added to the seminar programs
in 1971 for a two-fold purpose: 1) to give young musicians an opportunity to
perform which, hopefully, would encourage them to develop their talents,
and 2) to stimulate the reading an enjoyment of good poetry in
Montgomery. Its unusual name came from a piece of artwork named “Down
Funky Street”, which had won Second Prize at an earlier arts seminar hosted
by the Montgomery Art Guild. It had been the custom for the Montgomery
Art Guild to purchase the First and Second prizewinners from Guild art
shows, and the First Alabama Bank had a commitment to exhibit the Guild’s
art collection. An arrangement was worked out between the Guild and the
Seminar. The Montgomery Art Guild agreed to donate the artwork to the
Seminar for the Coffee House provided the Coffee House would always be

Summer Seminar of the Arts Papers
called “Down Funky Street” and provided “Down Funky Street” would always
be in the Coffee House.
Mooney began writing to notable poets with published works inviting them to
send their poems to be read in the Down Funky Street Coffee House. Poets
of national and even international prominence generously sent poems,
letters of encouragement, signed photographs, holograph poems, and
volumes of their poetry to be featured in the Down Funky Street Coffee
House. Mooney also solicited and received dozens of broadsides of poems
from poets and their publishing houses, which were displayed during the
festival; and are included in this collection. Mooney received artistic
contributions from poets ranging from the obscure to nationally
recognizable. Noted contributors include: Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence
Ferlinghetti, W.H. Auden, Joan Baez, Alan Dugan, David Ignatow, Erica
Jong, Denise Levertov, Kenneth Patchen, and May Swenson. The Seminar
received contributions from no less than twenty-one US Poets’ Laureates
and twenty-eight Pulitzer Prize winners. The following poet laureates sent in
contributions or appeared at the Summer Seminar: Allen Tate, Robert Penn
Warren, Leonie Adams, Conrad Aiken, Richard Eberhart, Louis Untermeyer,
Howard Nemerov, William Jay Smith, William Stafford, Josephine Jacobsen,
Daniel Hoffman, Stanley Kunitz, Robert Hayden, Maxine Kumin, Anthony
Hecht, Gwendolyn Brooks, Richard Wilbur, Mark Strand, and Mona Van
Duyn. Other noted contributing poets include Louise Glück and W.S. Merwin,
who served as Special Library of Congress Bicentennial Consultants from
1999-2000. 1
Because of the response from these poets, the poetry read in the Coffee
House had been restricted to that received or authorized by them for the
Coffee House, with one exception; that is, the inclusion of the prize winning
poetry from the annual coffee house verse competition sponsored by the
Seminar. The winners of the contest were invited to read their prize winning
verse as recognition for being the winners.
Jack Mooney left the Montgomery area and moved to Ft. Walton Beach,
Florida in 1984. With his departure, the Summer Seminar of the Arts lost
much of the vision without his direction. The Summer Seminars were held
for a few more years before the project was absorbed into other programs
that branched off from the Seminar.
