August - December 2011
1000 Words—Putting Pictures into Words
This exciting project is a collaboration between the New England Writers Centre and the New England Regional Art Museum. Local and regional writers—beginners to advanced of any age—are invited to write prose or poetry inspired by NERAM's permanent collections. Participants will have the opportunity to view the Howard Hinton, Chandler Coventry and NERAM collections in the NERAM Art Storage Room to select a work of art which inspires them to write about. If selected, the writers’ work will hang alongside the painting, drawing or print they have selected in an exhibition at NERAM in November this year.
This is a wonderful opportunity for people who enjoy writing to challenge themselves and be involved in a local project which also celebrates our wonderful cultural resources. The project will conclude with writers who were selected for the exhibition being invited to read their work at the NERAM café—neram harvest, in early December.
