RAC Writing Workshop February 27, 2019

“Art as Inspiration”
Creative Writing Workshop
It truly was an inspired evening of art and writing – prompts for free writing produced literary nuggets of prose, poetry, lyrics and far-out fiction. Using the current Abstraction exhibition as a portal into creativity, the group engaged in both individual and collaborative exercises under the guidance of Liz Matthews. Participants also had an opportunity to share their writing. ( Liz Matthews (right) with Sam Keller)
