Art as Writing Prompt at MOCA\CT

May 14, 2026

Thursday

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

Join us for a collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art\Connecticut as we write to prompts using the inspiration of the current exhibition "Art, Jazz + The Blues". We will begin by perusing the exhibit, then sit down to respond to a curated selection of writing prompts inspired by the artwork. Following these exercises, participants have the option to read their work aloud, and to give and receive positive feedback. For those who wish to take this a step further, we'll share tools for how to transform these ideas and musings into stories and essays. Writers of all levels welcome.
