The Clark debuts a new program in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper. Developed as a “sibling” program to our monthly Drawing Closer events, Writing Closer invites writers of all experience and skill levels to work independently on thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of prints, drawings, and photographs. This session focuses on “Moody Nature” in conjunction with the Clark’s major summer exhibition, Edvard Munch: Trembling Earth. Whether it’s poetry or prose, fiction or non-, and a story-in-progress or something completely new, allow the works to inspire your writing.

Free. Basic materials will be provided. Only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center and museum galleries. Advance registration is required, and capacity is limited.
