Ekphrastic writing is inspired by visual art, in the form of an essay, poetry, or fiction. This two-day workshop is for writers of all levels. By taking inspiration from a work of art, the writer creates a unique collaboration with the artist and reader. In the first 90-minute session on April 18 from 11am-12:30pm, we will examine and discuss examples of ekphrastic writing before exploring the current exhibits at the Hyde to discover the works that inspire us. Then we will meet to write and talk.

 In the next 60-minute workshop session on April 25 from 11am-12pm, we will share our reactions to the experience and our writing.
