Workshops
Guided by nationally recognized & award-winning writer & editor Bob Keyes, sharpen your critical voice while navigating the line between what makes a review thoughtful or not.
There are no available registration dates at this time.
Sharpen your critical voice while exploring a range of reviews and opinion pieces by contemporary arts writers in Maine and across the country. Participants will discuss the difference between a thoughtful review and a hatchet job, and hear directly from writers about how they balance their opinions with their desire to inform and why that matters. The class will feature guest writers and field trips to museums and galleries on the midcoast.
