About this Event
Join the National Portrait Gallery for an interactive creative writing workshop that explores the exciting stories of expatriate American women artists, performers and cultural innovators in Paris. Participants will gain inspiration from the exhibition “Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900–1939,” which features portraits of Josephine Baker, Isadora Duncan, Zelda Fitzgerald, Loïs Mailou Jones, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Anaïs Nin, Gertrude Stein, Ethel Waters and Anna May Wong.
Through creative writing exercises, we will develop new, experimental texts that blend genres and forms. Open to writers of all levels and genres, ages 18+.
The Portrait Gallery strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. If you have questions about the accessibility of this program, or if you would like to request real-time captioning (CART), sign language interpretation, or any other accommodations, please contact [email protected]. Two weeks' advance notice is appreciated for requesting accommodations.
