Many creatives enjoy art and writing and with ekphrasis, we can use art to inspire our writing. In this Ekphrastic Writing Workshop, we will examine visual art, including paintings, sculptures, and photos as inspiration for our own stories, poems, and essays.

By the end of this workshop, we will have a deeper understanding of the connections between visual art and writing, which will keep us inspired long after the close of our workshop.

About the branch

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
