Explore the possibilities of creative writing and develop new connections between visual art and the written word! Led by published poet and scholar Star Black, this two-session literary workshop will focus on the idea of ekphrasis, an Ancient Greek term meaning “the use of detailed description of a work of visual art as a literary device.”
Inspired by the works featured in The Ark, participants will generate a series of creative texts detailing their unique experiences of selected work in the exhibition. Poets, writers, and anyone fascinated by the interweaving of art and literature are welcome to attend; no prior writing experience needed.

While participants will not be making their own fermented foods, they will enjoy a ‘taste buds’-on experience of the foods Nadia creates.
Join environmental artist and educator Tony Valderrama for an afternoon workshop that blends culture, art, wildlife, and music. In this one-hour session, participants will be guided through the basic techniques of working with clay as they create their own unique pinch pots, personalized in the shape of their favorite animals. As pinch pots were one of the most basic forms of Native American ceramics, Valderrama will also discuss Native American culture, incorporating flute music and artwork samples inspired by his indigenous Taino roots.
