SUMMARY:Westport Writers’ Workshop at MoCACT with Amanda Parrish Morgan + Liz Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an inspired evening of art and writing. We’ll use MoCACT’s current exhibition Art\, Jazz + the Blues as a portal into our own creativity. In this workshop\, we’ll identify the elements of the exhibited art that most capture our imagination and use this as a jumping-off point. We’ll linger in the unfamiliar space and write from there. Following individual and collaborative exercises\, we’ll share our writing with each other and give positive feedback. For those who wish to take this a step further\, we’ll share tools for how to transform these ideas and musings into stories and essays. \nThis workshop is kindly sponsored by Deborah Murtaugh.
