In the Communal Pen workshop, we will write to celebrate and explore our connections to place and community. The writing process can help us awaken and preserve thoughts and traditions, offering insight, understanding and respect to present and future generations. This four-hour writing workshop draws inspiration from the Smithsonian exhibit Spark! Places of Innovation as a springboard for igniting our own stories, giving voice to our shared and individual experience of place.
Join Bobby Harley as he leads you expertly through writing prompts on innovation, technology, and community. No previous experience is necessary!
The Communal Pen workshops and the Museums on Main Street program are made possible through generous support from @SCHumanities.
Communal Pen is a community writing initiative that showcases the dynamic stories of South Carolina. We create space to amplify underrepresented voices through workshops, publications, and here, on our digital platform. This initiative is supported through a partnership between The Athenaeum Press and the SC Arts Commission.
