- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Lanesboro Arts and BIPOC Artist Residency Artist-in-Residence, Lara Mimosa Montes for a free, all stages writing workshop at the St. Mane Theatre Second Floor Studio starting at 6 pm on Wednesday, May 13th!

In this generative and process-focused writing workshop, we’ll read poems that invite the fledglings in us to take a seat at the table. We’ll collectively embark on writing activities that court naïveté and spontaneity in an attempt to become a little—or a lot—less inhibited in our creative pursuits. Participants will be invited, though not required, to share the results of some of their experiments during session. This workshop is about embracing a beginner mind at any stage in a creative life. Participants can expect to write in between and across genres, moving between poetry and prose, while embracing accident and experiment over mastery and perfection.

Writers of all genres and skill levels are welcome. Participants must be at least 18 years old.

While this workshop is free, prior registration is encouraged to help us plan for the event register now at https://lanesboroarts.org/calendar/writing-workshop-lara-mimosa-montes/
