Got poems? Want to write? Want to build some community? Sundays 12-2 at Strike Theatre! Ages 16+. Run by Ollie Schminkey.
MISSION STATEMENT: Founded in 2014, Well-Placed Commas is a 16+ collaborative arts space centered around poetry and community building. The space aims to provide a constructive workshop space for people from various types of communities, especially those that might not otherwise have access to a writing workshop and/or editing space. We hope to help amplify people’s voices and support them in presenting their narratives, teaching them various writing techniques and providing a brave space to share work. Here at WPC, we also believe in both free speech and holding people accountable for their words. Dialogue is encouraged, and absolutely everyone (16 years of age or older) is welcome! |
