Writing the Script: An Exphrastic Writing Workshop

June 15, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free
View Venue Website, 8371 N Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97217 + Google Map

How do we engage with visual art? Is there a way of fostering dialogue between the viewer and the art work? Can we create a script for deepening our experience of aesthetic appreciation, and as artists & writers can we use this as an opportunity to deepen our own creative practices? Join artist Katherine Spinella and poet Hajara Quinn to talk about creative practice, respond to ekphrastic prompts in conversation with the exhibition, and create your own script— an Ekphrastic Questionnaire of your own that you can take with you. The workshop will include a brief screen printing demo led by Katherine Spinella.
