Twin Cities Warrior Writers Workshop & Reading
Minnesota Humanities Center - 987 Ivy Ave E, St Paul, MN 55106
Attendance limit: 100
Event is free.
Partnering with the MN Humanities Center, Veterans' Voices, and Minneapolis VA Suicide Prevention Outreach, Warrior Writers will be hosting a workshop for veterans and a public reading of creative works by veterans. Lunch and all materials will be be provided. Dinner break is from 5:15-7pm, on your own.
This creative workshop will offer prompts that cover a variety of military issues and experiences. This encourages sharing stories, opinions, and ideas for productive writing/reflecting/story-telling and art-making. A highlight of the workshops for many veterans is having a space to release bottled-up thoughts and emotions among others who understand, creating a sense of empowerment in the ability to tell their own story. By creating an open and accepting atmosphere, we build a community of support. Warrior Writers is a welcoming space for everyone regardless of their experiences with art, combat, deployment and political/religious perspectives. This event is for ALL ERA VETERANS.
12-4pm: Workshop and lunch for veterans
7-9pm: Public Reading
Please RSVP by September 5th. The event is FREE but please RSVP.
