Writing Closer: Art and the Senses
The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes writers of all experience and skill levels to work closely after thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. September’s theme, “Art and the Senses,” features prints, drawings, and photographs evoking sensations of touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell. Whether it’s poetry or prose, fiction or non-, and a story-in-progress or something completely new, allow the works to inspire your writing.
Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center.
Free. Advanced registration required; capacity is limited.
