HELP US BY VOLUNTEERING AT OUR INFO TABLE FOR 2 HOURS between

We hope to have two community members sign up for each shift. We’d love to have adult and youth writers represented! What will you do?
  1. Answer questions about Women Writing for (a) Change youth and adult programs.
  2. Talk about your personal experience and why WWf(a)C means so much to you!
  3. Have info on hand about summer programs and events (provided by the office).
  4. Invite people to sign up for our newsletter.
  5. Offer visitors a takeaway activity called “Fast Writes at Findlay,” which are writing prompts people can take along during their day at the market and then return their writing to us or post to our Instagram.
Have a WWf(a)C friend? Sign up to work the same shift!

Teachers, you are invited to this free, online interactive program highlighting the Kara Walker: Cut to the Quick, special exhibition. Our guest speaker will be Ciona Rouse. This exhibition originated at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville, Tenn., and was co-curated by Frist Art Museum executive director and CEO Dr. Susan H. Edwards and poet Ciona Rouse. In addition to her curatorial responsibilities, Rouse composed original poems inspired by Walker’s works, which live inside the exhibition. In Cincinnati, Cut to the Quick will be guest curated by Rouse with Cincinnati Art Museum site curator Trudy Gaba.

Enjoy an evening of poetry, discussion, and an opportunity to deep dive into the artwork and context behind the work of Kara Walker.

This is a free event geared towards teachers from Evenings for Educators, but the general public is welcome to attend as well!

Registration required. You will receive a Microsoft Teams link to the event after registration.
