Library to Offer Inter-Generational Writing Workshop

Lovers of art and the written word are invited to participate in “Art/REACTion,” an inter-generational writing workshop at the Tompkins County Public Library Sunday, November 13 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

Facilitated by Irene “Zee” Zahava, this workshop will provide art enthusiasts and writers of all ages an opportunity to view the Library exhibit “Seriously Series” and create poems, fiction or memoirs based on personal reactions to the artwork.

“Seriously Series” is curated by Rebecca Godin and features the work of six local artists. The featured works explore specific themes, including: frogs, corners, dance, mandalas, pilgrimage and encounters. Artists whose work will serve as inspiration for writing are Mary Ann Bowman, Rebecca Godin, Kurt Lichtmann, Daniel McPheeters, John Lyon Paul and Terry Plater.

The workshop is free, but pre-registration is required. To register, contact Zahava at zee@twcny.rr.com or (607) 273-4675.

Zahava is a local author, editor and anthologizer and serves as director of Emma’s Writing Center in downtown Ithaca.

This program is made possible by support from Suzanne Spitz and Carrie Shearer.
