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 prompt, 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.

The September session is led by internationally-lauded poet and author who will serve as Santa Barbara’s first Chicana Poet Laureate, Melinda Palacio.
