BREATHING SPACE: EXPLORING COLLABORATION ACROSS ART FORMS: WCSU students and faculty will share their experiences collaborating on Breathing Space, a broadside project featuring poems and artwork created by WCSU students. Audience members will learn about the creative opportunities of collaborating with fellow artists across forms and styles as well as participate in a short writing exercise inspired by visual art produced by the Arts Escape community. Original broadsides will be on display. Refreshments and light snacks will be served. Digital versions of last year’s broadsides can be viewed here. From 6 to 8 p.m. at Arts Escape, 493 Heritage Road, Suite 4C in Southbury.

The Department of Creative and Professional Writing is proud to expand their community partnerships to include Arts Escape. Founded in 2012, Arts Escape encourages engagement in the arts through an extensive range of programs and classes. Their community of adult learners explore the arts in a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment. Their values and goals support the research that participating in creative activities improves adults’ problem-solving skills, self-esteem, and well-being.
