Writers of all levels are invited to participate in this informal exploration of the Museum’s galleries as an impetus to writing. Monthly sessions are led by a visiting writer who begins with a conversation and prompts, partially inspired by works on view. Participants write on their own, then reconvene to share and comment on each other’s work. Please bring something on which to write.

In February, essayist, and lecturer at UC Santa Barbara, Ellen O’Connell Whittet leads her second winter session in Meditated Nature.
