Young Writers & Artists Festival
Young Writers & Artists Festival Returns for Its 14th Year
The 14th annual Young Writers and Artists Festival, presented by the Fellowship in Creative Arts and the Osborne Writing Fellowship, will take place on Friday, November 7th. This immersive, all-day event offers HB students the chance to work with professional, award-winning writers and artists in a hands-on workshop setting.
Workshops will be offered in poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, graphic novels, ceramics, photography, painting, screen printing, printmaking, and papermaking! No experience is necessary, so students can pursue a passion or try something new. Workshops are limited in size to ensure close interaction with workshop leaders.
The festival is one of the highlights of the year, and workshops fill up quickly—be sure to register early! Registration can be found below.
