ART PAPERS ART WRITING WORKSHOP

This program is for New Orleans-based Black writers: primarily emerging ones, but attendance is also open to experienced arts writers. Participants will leave the program with strategies for writing about contemporary arts and culture topics, and pitching to editors. They will create connections to a network of writers, editors, and publications. The initiative seeks to increase the quantity and visibility of arts writing that covers New Orleans and the Gulf South region. The workshop is FREE and open to writers based in New Orleans. It will take place in various locations: The Black School, Community Book Center, and Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University. Registration opens September 8.
