Join us monthly to generate new creative writing inspired by works in the Stanley collection. A different, talented writer in our area will lead each session, offering a new prompt and a new approach to ekphrastic writing (that is, writing inspired by visual art). Bring your own notebook and pencil or computer and leave with the start of a newly written piece. Writers in all genres are welcome.

This session will be led by Jennifer Colville. Jennifer Colville is the director of PorchLight, a community literary salon in Iowa City, and is the founder of Prompt Press, a project connecting visual artists, book artists and writers. She speaks and leads creative writing workshops on “The Inventive Feminist Voice,” and the intersection of writing and visual art. Elegies for Uncanny Girls, a collection of short stories, was published in 2017 by Indiana University Press. Jennifer is a 2023 Iowa Artist Fellow. 

Space is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your spot.
