Workshop: Truth & Dare Volume 5: Experiments in Art & Writing with Laura Moulton (3 weeks)
July 12, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
FreeTruth & Dare is a creative workshop and community favorite that offers one truth (in the form of a writing prompt) and one dare (an art-inspired challenge to make/do) each week. Taking inspiration from contemporary artists and writers, we’ll generate our own work on the page and out in the world with optional hybrid adventures that may include graffiti harvesting, documenting public art, and writing letters. Most important, we’ll share our work in the supportive environment we create together. Whether you’ve attended previous Truth & Dare workshops or are joining us for the first time, all are welcome. Transportation stipends are available for in person gatherings.
Monday and Weds 11-12:30pm | July 12, 14, 19, 21, 26, 28
