8/8/24 Workshop and Reading with Arwen Donahue

You won’t want to miss this event! On August 8, join WMMT and Roadside Theater for a FREE evening with Arwen Donahue, artist and author of Landings: A Crooked Creek Farm Year (2022, Hub City Press). Arwen will lead a workshop and read from her graphic memoir-in-progress, How I Met My Mother. We’ll also have refreshments!

Where: Groundswell, 229 E. Main Street, Whitesburg, KY 41858 (the old post office)

When: August 8, 2024 | Workshop at 6:00 p.m. | Reading at 7:15 p.m.

The evening will begin with the 6:00 pm workshop on “A Graphic Narrative Road Trip.” Are you a writer with an interest in exploring graphic narratives? In this workshop, we’ll grease the wheels of the proverbial words-and-pictures machine and start rolling. Bring along a short story, poem, essay, or any other piece of writing, and we’ll explore various routes you can take in adapting it into a visual/textual form—a comic, visual poem, piece of graphic journalism, or a hybrid. We’ll also create a roadmap for you to complete a project on your own. No drawing skills or experience required. This portion of the evening is free, but does require registration.

At 7:15, Arwen will read from her graphic memoir-in-progress, How I Met My Mother.
