Join InsideOut Literary Arts for a hands-on creative writing workshop with acclaimed poet, artist, and educator Brittany Rogers in response to Tiff Massey’s exhibit 7 Mile + Livernois. Participants will explore Massey’s brilliant tribute to Detroit while discussing Massey’s featured themes, including adornment, beauty, and class. Participants will write creative works which focus on poetic forms such as ode and ekphrastic while crafting their own responses to the exhibition. The workshop is designed for teens and adults.
 
Participants will meet in Conference Room A & B (on the main floor next to the cafeteria) before visiting the exhibit.
 
InsideOut Literary Arts at the Detroit Institute of Arts is made possible by Tri-County millage support and Joseph C. Richert, Esq.

Registration is required for this 2-hour writing workshop.
