SUMMARY:Norman Rockwell: Inclusion\, Exclusion and Evolving Views on Race
DESCRIPTION:The illustrator Norman Rockwell is beloved for his ability to depict and define American life. He often captured bittersweet images of people experiencing universal and relatable feelings of being left out or left behind. Yet\, as an artist working in the 20th century\, his works are curiously devoid of America’s rich cultural and racial diversity. In the final decades of his career\, Rockwell painted several poignant works about race in America that can be seen as an extension of his earlier sense of the power of inclusion and exclusion. \nSpeaker Bio\nJane Oneail curates and delivers art appreciation programs to audiences throughout New England. Jane holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University. A New Hampshire native\, she has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions\, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen\, where she served as Executive Director\, and the Currier Museum of Art\, where she held the role of Senior Educator. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade\, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.

In fact\, the opposite is true. You can’t make this stuff up! It’s all in how you tell the story. This workshop will take you through the process of zeroing in on true stories and crafting them with the same tools and techniques that fiction writers use to bring words to life on the page. We’ll explore theme\, structure\, voice\, dialogue and more\, along with exercises for sourcing material from life experience. Read more about Ruth Crocker in her bio\, and her publications on her website. \nWriting Fiction: The Art of Storytelling | Susan Kietzman\nMonday\, July 12 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM\nA writer brings to a story unique perspective\, voice\, and imagination — all of which shape how the story is told. In this workshop\, we’ll explore the creation of fiction\, as well as dive into some key elements: character\, setting\, dialogue\, plot\, and point of view. We’ll talk about style\, discipline\, and what it takes to turn your idea into a novel. Be prepared to write\, discuss\, and learn from one another. Read more about Susan Kietzman in her bio\, and her publications on her website. \nWriting Through Trauma: Steps for Post Traumatic Growth | Regina Bartlett\nMonday\, July 26 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM \nPain.

This workshop will show you steps to take to look inward – in your own time – and discover how to use writing as a healing place and channel past pain points to forge a path for growth. Prompts will gently guide you to excavate your past\, and provide the tools to craft your story into something meaningful for others to read. Read more about Regina Bartlett in her bio\, and her publications and other speaking engagements on her website. \nGet Published with a Small Press | Leslie M Browning\nMonday\, August 2 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM \nYou’ve joined in our local authors writing workshop series\, you’ve started some stories of your own\, and now the question arises… How do I get published?
