FOUR WRITING PROMPTS: THE BEGINNING OF FOUR NEW STORIES OR POEMS
The more you write, the luckier you get—and each time you start a piece, there's an opportunity to get luckier than ever. The trick is getting started. Here, you'll not only begin four new pieces, but will learn strategies to begin many more. The session is open to teen writers of all levels and experience. Come by, and prepare yourself for fun, inspiration, and surprises.

This workshop is free to attend for students age 11-18. Please register in advance.

So, You Want to Go Places With Your Art

Adult Workshop

April 17th, 2:00-4:00 p.m.

This is a fun, inspiring workshop for artists of all disciplines, a workshop of surprises, and is especially recommended for writers who want to be published for the first time, or published more often, or published in larger, more competitive venues. It's also recommended for musicians who want to perform, or record, for the first time, or who want to go from smaller venues in Palmer or Wasilla to larger ones locally or nearby, or to, say, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Seattle, and beyond. And how do you get people with blogs or podcasts, or radio DJs, to pay attention to your music? It's the same for performers in other disciplines, whether theater or dance. And it's the same for visual artists. How can you expand your reach so more people are aware of your work?

No matter their discipline or experience, attendees will leave with concrete ideas what they might put into practice to take their art further. They'll also be taking home a few handouts.

The workshop will begin with an introduction—Ken Waldman is open to creatives of all kinds so he'll need to see who all's there. There will be several, short writing exercises to further determine where we are now with our work, and where we want to be. It's an interactive workshop, and Waldman will also be sharing resources. Though this is a one-off workshop, Waldman will not only invite participants to stay in touch with him as seems right, but encourage participants to stay in touch with each other. In his many years of leading workshops, he's found we're all equals in the art-making—we're all striving to make something new and good, and can always learn from each other.

This workshop is for adults and is free to attend. Please register in advance
