Let Landscape Be Your Guide: Kansas City Veterans Writing Team and Johnson County Library – Kickoff Event  Friday, May 6, 7 – 8:30 p.m.

While “landscape” may remind you of physical geography, for the artist, it refers to much more than a fixed physical location. Join the Kansas City Veterans Writing Team (KCVWT) and Johnson County Library as we examine all the worlds we inhabit: our personal landscapes. We will begin with discussion of landscape with Paul Darling and Mark Turcotte, followed by workshops, critique groups and a panel discussion. We will end with a celebratory Open Mic. Our goal is to write, critique and share.

And much more happening this week »
