Poetry, Prose and Paint Workshop Schedule

Program Overview

Discover the dynamic interplay that fuels both painting and writing. The disciplines of painting and writing both rely upon close observation, experimentation and constant revision.

Many writers, including Henry Miller and Elizabeth Bishop, have turned to painting as a source of inspiration and expression. Similarly, many painters including Paul Klee and Fairfield Porter turned to writing. Painter, writer and teacher, Duncan Sprattmoran, will present a series of cross-pollinations where participants will share literary and visual works in facilitated discussion about the artistic process.

“The enthusiasm and knowledge base of the staff was excellent. The ability to adapt to the specific needs of the individual students was wonderful."
Linda K., 2007 Poetry, Prose and Paint Workshop Participant

Participants will work with acrylic paint; workshop materials are included in the registration fee. Workshop classes will be held in the new Herbert H. and Barbara C.
