All Ways Writing Circle

by

The All Ways Writing Circle offers time, space, community, and inspiration to get some writing done. This is for anyone who wants to write—in any genre—and would benefit from dedicated time. Facilitated by Lily Greenberg, participants will be offered a prompt, approximately 45 minutes to write, then a chance to share their work in a warm and supportive group setting. No experience needed, all genres welcome. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Admission is $12.
Participants are encouraged to register on Eventbrite. Walk-ins are also welcome, and can pay at the door by cash, check, or Venmo.
Starting July 11, 2024, our venue is Creative Arts Workshop https://www.arts-workshop.com/ , 171 Main Street Nyack, NY.

Cynthia Hesdra with Bill Batson

by

Without the work of local historians, the incredible achievements of Cynthia Hesdra, a woman of color, entrepreneur, and abolitionist born in 1808, would have been unheralded. She is now commemorated by a Toni Morrison “Bench by the Road” moment in Nyack’s Memorial Park. Nyack Sketch Log creator Bill Batson will describe the efforts to rescue her narrative from obscurity that continue today with the campaign to repair her tombstone in Mahwah, NJ, which was recently found to be toppled from its foundation. Presented by BACAS.

The life and works of a seminal artist of the 20th century, South African photographer Ernest Cole. Denouncing apartheid with the publication of his 1967 photo book House of Bondage, Cole then lived in exile in the US, where he documented New York City and the American South, observing echoes of the country he left behind. In 2017, 60,000 negatives of his work were found in a Swedish bank safe.

Circle Up

by

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.
