The Lake Superior College Writers’ Series — Express Yourself!
This year’s Lake Superior College Writers’ Series includes four workshops. Students and community members are invited to attend any or all of the four workshops. Refreshments will be provided.
Each workshop will explain the artist’s way of creating his or her work. In the workshop, artists will give participants direction and opportunity to generate their own ideas and work. Then there will be a reading, performance, or sharing of work related to each workshop which will be open to the public.
