Haunted Poems (Limited Offering)
Adult Intensive | Available
Dickinson once wrote that "Nature is a haunted house--but Art--is a house that tries to be haunted." Come explore some poems that make space for ghosts, monsters, and other such spooky creatures, and write some haunted poems of your own.
- All materials are provided, but feel free to bring a favorite notebook or writing instrument.
Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
