IN-GALLERY | Writing Workshop Inspired by 20th Century Americans

Join the National Portrait Gallery for a writing workshop inspired by thinkers, dreamers, artists, and makers in the 20th Century Americans exhibition. Participants will look closely at works of art and receive guided writing prompts to develop new writing that infuses our lived experiences and explores the ideas of contemporary innovators of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Open to writers of all levels and genres, ages 18 and up.
