    Poetry, like contemporary art, can be difficult to approach. SAY WHAT explores ideas related to structure, theme, language and content in poetry in the setting of a visual art exhibition. This session of SAY WHAT is one-day exploration of art, poetry, and creative writing led by Marc Benning. The workshop will actively use the current exhibition, THE FORGIVING, for inspiration and will encourage participating teens to explore and muse in their poetry and prose. The day will include GOCA co-director Daisy McConnell leading the students in a Visual Thinking Strategy session. VTS is a powerful tool for engaging with art and developing critical vocabulary to express observations and opinions.

    This installment of SAY WHAT is a partnership between GOCA and FutureSelf and serves teens ages 14 to 19. Lunch is provided and REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! To enroll in the program call 323-6262.
