The school has collaborated with Cafe the Lodge for more than seven years to hold these monthly literary events as part of the Southside Arts District's First Friday celebrations.
Literary Arts, one of Charter Arts’ seven artistic majors, engages students in a comprehensive creative writing curriculum with courses such as Character Development, Exploration of Modernism & Postmodernism, Children’s Literature, Film Studies, Exploration of the Romantic Style, Media Studies, and more.
Literary Arts Artistic Director, Kristin Liemberger, shares: "Students write and analyze creatively and critically, experimenting with their own creative voices in the construction, production, and performance of original works. This intensive program provides students with a rigorous curriculum rooted in the creative process while reinforcing that reading, writing, film, and the spoken word are integral parts of the history and advancement of society."
Prospective students and families who are interested in learning more about the literary arts program and the school are invited to attend an upcoming information session or schedule a tour. For more information, visit www.CharterArts.org.
