SUMMARY:From Image to Story: A Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nWhen a work of art resonates with our own experience\, we recognize it. Through that recognition\, we begin to build meaning\, connection\, and understanding. \nJoin Fireside Ink Writers Workshop for a unique writing workshop inspired by Off the Page at the Dairy Arts Center. Using artworks from the exhibition as a starting point\, participants will explore personal narratives through guided writing prompts\, close looking\, and conversation. This workshop invites writers of all levels and genres to discover how visual art can open a doorway into their own stories while deepening our sense of shared community. \nSurrounded by the artworks of Off the Page in the McMahon Gallery\, attendees will reflect on the images that resonate most deeply with them and use those responses as a springboard for creative exploration. Through a series of guided exercises\, participants will uncover personal connections\, memories\, and stories inspired by the work on view. \nYou’ll leave with fresh writing\, new tools for creative reflection\, and a deeper appreciation for the ways art can help us better understand ourselves and one another. \nNo prior writing experience is necessary. All genres and experience levels are welcome. \nAbout the Instructor \nBrenda Kahn is a Boulder-based artist celebrated for lyric-driven music that blends personal narratives with broader social commentary. She gained acclaim in the 1990s with her distinctive punk-folk sound\, earning a recording contract with Columbia Records and critical praise for her album Epiphany in Brooklyn. She has toured with musical greats including Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley and is the author of Ode to Chores\, a humorous collection of verse about motherhood. \nHer 2024 single\, Alright OK\, is available on YouTube and Spotify.
