Application Form

This workshop is for individuals interested in working imaginatively across genres and media : all those who’d like to explore the creation and interplay of image and language are welcome. Workshop time will be split: students will participate in accessible creative writing exercises to stimulate and generate written work. Students will then move into the art studio to create two and three-dimensional works of art in response to poems or other texts; participants may choose to respond to their own newly written work, or a favorite poem or section of prose. Additional texts will be supplied by instructors. Educators who ’d like to develop new ways to engage in the written word through art and art-making are encouraged to participate.
