Saturday Stanza: Writing Workshop

Spend a creative Saturday at the museum connecting with art and your community. Led by our Poet-in-Residence, Chloe Martinez, this relaxed workshop invites you to write alongside fellow visitors in a supportive atmosphere. We will explore the galleries together, using the artwork to spark conversation and inspire new poems. No previous poetry experience is required—just bring a notebook, a pencil, and an open mind.

Free with registration. Seating is limited, so sign up today!
