One Day Workshop: Saturday, April 4, 2026, 11am – 3pm

Bring your favorite pen or pencil to join AAM Artist-in-Residence Anne Lindberg and poet/artist Mary McCoy for a poetry writing workshop exploring color as a carrier of meaning. After a brief discussion, students will be led through short writing exercises to generate ideas, followed by a longer session to allow each student to create poetry. After lunch (provided by the museum), the poems and poetry fragments will be installed in the upstairs gallery adjacent to Lindberg’s site-specific commission seen and unseen.
