Don't Miss This Zoom Workshop

Don't miss our Thursday zoom workshop on Outsider Artists. A window into the rich stories of the world of artists outside of the mainstream of the art world marketplace. Outsider Art is a problematic umbrella term for visionary artists, self taught artists, artists inside of institutions such as prisons, artists with mental illness or psychosis, artists who couldn't read, remote or rural artists, and more. We will meet some amazing characters and take a look at their work and their world. 

Outsider Art is one of Lorette's special interests in art history. Join us!

A general variety pack Sunday Session follows next Sunday, and a workshop on Jean Michel Basquiat is next week. 

“If you love learning about art and artists and if you love writing, Lorette's workshops are the perfect place to twine those loves together! Comfortable, educational and inspiring, these two enjoyable hours fly by. And like me, you may linger breathing in the riches of The Ekphrastic Review for your heart and soul.” Fran Turner

Basquiat: an ekphrastic discovery workshop

CA$30.00

Join us on Tuesday July 19 from 3 to 5 PM Eastern Standard Time for an ekphrastic discovery workshop on the life and art of Jean Michel Basquiat.

Basquiat's iconic graffiti-style urban imagery and fascinating body of work are a playground for our imagination. We will learn about Basquiat, his life, and his art. We will use his images in some writing gym exercises to unlock fun possibilities for writing, and as prompts directing us to conjure new poems or stories.

Doors open at 2.45 PM EST, for those who wish to meet and mingle.

We prefer to end our workshops organically after our last discussion and exercise, so they may go overtime.

No refunds for cancellations, sorry. We will happily move you to a future workshop if you cannot attend.

Our workshops are all about community, creativity, and conversation! We encourage discussion and sharing. We strive for an environment that is both challenging and supportive, to grow your writing practice in unexpected directions.
