As part of Art After Dark, we’re also hosting Writer’s Workshop | The Garden of Your Mind, the third program in a three-part ekphrastic poetry series. In the third workshop, participants are invited to consider how art exists beyond museum walls. What happens when we listen to the world around us, not just ourselves? Led by poets Ariana Kija Matondo and Kallie Blakelock, this session will move between the galleries and outdoor spaces for guided journaling. Participants will practice mindfulness while gathering sensory notes from the environment around and within them, deepening the connection between observation, place, and poetic expression. Open to all ages and experience levels, the workshop takes place Thursday, April 30, from 5:30–7:30 PM and is included with Art After Dark admission.
