Here and There, Now and Then: Community Workshop

Monday, June 15 from 5-8 pm

At the Mandel Jewish Community Center

500pxHereANDthereJoin us for the kick-off of our summer exhibition with an arts & writing workshop that’s open to all!

Here and There, Now and Then, opening June 15, is a collaborative, interactive arts project between Heights Arts, Lake Erie Ink, and the Mandel JCC, which gathers and shares written and visual stories about how people got to Cleveland: where their parents and grandparents started out, and what brought them from that place, then, to this place, now.

Participants will be given a variety of prompts to choose from; all asking questions that elicit a personal narrative relating to family history. Storytelling (creative writing, poetry, prose) and illustration (in a variety of mediums) will be made and collected and participants will place pins on a map corresponding to where their family/work they’ve created is from.  All materials are provided at the workshops; just bring your creativity!
