CREATIVE WRITING inspired by CONTEMPORARY ART

A couple of years ago, we enjoyed a creative writing session inspired by paintings. We return to the theme once more but with a "twist" - this time the focus is on comtemporary art (whether that be painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, installation art, mural, graffiti, or performance art - the choice is endless). 

"Contemporary" in that your art choice must be post-1980. 

In preparation for this session, you are invited to write a piece of poetry (12 - 48 lines), monologue, non-fiction, or flash fiction of up to 500 words inspired by your choice, and read out on the night. 

More details to follow.

(Chairperson: IAN)
