SAM Creates

Salon @ SAM January 12, 2013 1–6 pm Nordstrom Art Studio

Women artists have taken over SAM with the awe-inspiring exhibits Elles: Women Artists from the Centre Pompidou, Paris and Elles: SAM—Singular Works by Seminal Women Artists. Now SAM and Hedgebrook will come together so writers can give voice to the art.

For one day only, come and engage in creative writing workshops led by Seattle poet Susan Rich and Hedgebrook Executive Director and playwright Amy Wheeler.

Fueled by playful writing exercises, you'll spend the afternoon in the galleries writing in response to the dynamic artwork, then you'll have the opportunity to share your fresh work in the galleries, surrounded by the art that inspired them. At 5 pm, we'll raise a glass to celebrate women writers and artists.

Tickets are $125, with discounts for early registration and group rates. All tickets include gallery admission, writing workshops and reception. Open to men and women writers, age 14 and older. Contact Hedgebrook for tickets or more information at 206.325.6773 or hedgebrook@hedgebrook.org.
