Come on down to Transformative Arts Saturday 8/27 for a Poetry Workshop led by Kinsale Drake! Learn to write poems about memory and music. We will be writing tribute poems to an artist, song, or genre that we particularly admire. Themes align with BLACKLIST ME, The Chapter House’s upcoming exhibition.

The workshop is free and all are welcome! To protect our community, we are limiting space to 15 participants so sign up now to reserve a spot. We will also be checking COVID vaccination cards and/or a negative COVID test at the door and ask all participants wear masks while indoors. ⁠
