Curated Spaces Virtual Workshop Series Registration

Includes all four dates of our Curated Spaces Virtual Workshop Series. Sept. 10, Oct. 8, Oct. 29, and Nov. 19.

Destroy and Create: Altered Book Sculptures. Turn an old, hardcover book into a personalized, open-faced sculpture. Cut it, tear it, tape pages together, and cover it with handmade papers and markers. Incorporate found objects, drawings, or writings. Fill it with imaginings and dreams. In the end, you will have a three-dimensional, one-of-a-kind keepsake. Each piece will be unique and reflect the ideas and interests of its creator! *Register by 8/30 to qualify for free workshop materials, otherwise registration closes on 9/3.

Agents of Change: Examining the Transformation of Humans, Real and Imagined, Through Monologue. Just as characters are agents of change in a story, making decisions that shape the narrative, we all are agents of change in our own lives and the broader world. In this session, we will write and perform a first-person monologue that encapsulates the transformation of a literary character. Understanding the experiences, struggles, values and motivations that drive a character’s growth provides opportunities for introspection, self-reflection and personal growth. *Registration closes on 10/1 .

RE-MIX: Symbols and Identity. Create a richly layered, mixed-media, autobiographical portrait that demonstrates your interests, passions, and place in the world. Drawing inspiration from Jean-Michel Basquiat, a neo-expressionist multimedia artist, and Hip Hop's intractable ties to pop culture, you will explore various mediums, such as oil pastels, ink, markers, tempera sticks, paper collage, and writing. *Register by 10/18 to qualify for free workshop materials, otherwise registration closes on 10/22.

Starting with Self: Poetry, Identity & the Senses. There’s only one you—one beautiful, fabulous you! Through a series of lively writing and sensory prompts, you’ll create a poem. A poem that reflects you, your place in the world, and all that makes you shine. Discover and re-imagine the factors that help shape our identity. Tap into rich sensory imagery and evoke a concentrated imaginative awareness. *Registration closes on 11/12.
