Young Writers & Artists Festival

The eleventh annual Young Writers and Artists Festival offers workshops in poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, songwriting, ceramics, photography, drawing, painting, and fiber arts.

On November 4, students have the opportunity to work with writers and artists in a supportive and immersive full-day workshop. Each workshop is led by a talented and accomplished professional writer or artist — offering students the chance to dig into existing interests or try out a new mode of creative expression.
