# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Writing Workshop: Portrait Essays
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Taught by Peggy Purdue, published author with CALYX, Inc.

In this multi-disciplinary, cross-generational writing and art workshop, we’ll pull from several tools and practices–portraiture, poetry, writing, and journalism–to get curious about the people we don’t know, and the people we thought we knew.

Bring a photograph or image of someone you want to know more about. 
Over the course of the workshop we will use writing prompts, artistic perspectives, and even journalistic interviewing to practice curiosity, listening, and understanding to dig deeper into who that person is, why they do what they do, where they come from–and in the process, maybe even learn a little bit more about ourselves, and all of us in our flawed and beautiful human lives.

Participants will come out of the workshop with a working document, the tools, and next steps to continue their quest into deeper understanding and listening.

Cost: $40-$60 sliding scale
Pre-registration required.
