You have edited down a body of work and are ready to share it. Now learn how to enhance your visual art with supporting text that helps others to effectively engage.

No matter your writing experience, this three-session seminar will help you open the doors to creatively writing about your visual work. In this peer-based group, with artists and writers of all levels, you will learn new writing techniques and finalize a written piece to accompany a visual arts project of each participant’s choosing.
