Encountering Pleasure, Writing Delight

Join the Philadelphia Small Works Gallery, and guest teacher Miriam Saperstein on November 3rd for a generative writing workshop inspired by the exhibition, “If Pleasure Wasn’t A Fantasy." We will view the exhibition together (on its last day!), using the artwork as a jumping-off point for creative writing about how we experience and seek out joy in our lives. Open to all levels of experience.
