Join us Thursday, November 30, for two opportunities for creative expression.
From 6:00 – 8:00 pm we will host An Evening of Unquiet Creativity. Read us your first paragraph, show off your ink sketch, bring your knitting, cross-stitching, scrap-booking, book-making, whittling, or any other project to work on, share, and chat about.
Starting at 8:00 pm, we’ll segue into An Evening of Creative Desperation. Haven’t got 50,000 words in for National Novel Writing Month? It’s the last night! We’ll give you some space and time to concentrate your final efforts. This event will run until 11:00 pm to give you the best shot at completing your novel.
Both these events are open to teens and adults, ages 12 and up.
