More About Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop
Ekphrasis is the use of vivid language to describe or respond to a work of art. Through ekphrasis, we can connect more deeply with the world around us and with ourselves. Our one-day ekphrastic workshop is a great opportunity to write something new and enjoy the spring season!
In this workshop, you will:
• Receive a tour from curator Jamaal Bonnette of the Creating Through It
• Spend dedicated time enjoying the art, selecting a piece to respond to, and writing about it
• Share your work with the class in a round of supportive feedback
• Decide if you’d like your work to become a part of the exhibit for the remainder of its run
Whether you’re a dedicated writer continuing your practice, trying to meet fellow local writers, or just looking for a nice way to enjoy the spring season, our ekphrastic workshop is a great opportunity to create art in a relaxing, supportive environment!

More About Hopkinton Center for the Arts
The Hopkinton Center for the Arts offers arts to all people.
Our classes, productions, and exhibitions serve an inclusive community of students, performers, and exhibiting artists diverse in age, ability, experience, ethnicity, and geography.
Among our innovative current programs:
* Visual arts instruction for developmentally disabled adults
* Music instruction for infants and toddlers
* Linkage with public school students and teachers, who use HCA as an educational resource in the arts and in leadership training
In the visual arts, theater, music, and dance, HCA annually offers over 200 classes to more than 1,000 students, from preschool to seniors, drawn from the diverse population of over 40 neighboring cities and towns. In 2015 we opened our new art center, with newly renovated classrooms, a new 200-seat performance space, and a new exhibition space. The Delbridge Family Performance Space and the Lotvin Family Gallery annually present dozens of productions and exhibitions by students and adults, amateurs and professionals. Created in 2011, HCA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community arts center, fosters and celebrates the creative spirit in everyone.
