Writing Circle | Mystery & Benevolence
Sunday, February 16
1–3:30 p.m.
Led by Women Writing for (a) Change, this writing circle is inspired by Mystery & Benevolence. Participants will be guided by a docent through the exhibition and engage in a facilitated writing circle in response to the art.
Bring your favorite writing materials or use the supplies provided. Time will be given for independent writing and reflection on the exhibition. Participants will reassemble for a read around, when everyone is invited (not obligated) to read part or all of what they wrote during the session. We’ll conclude with time for crosstalk and feedback.
New and experienced writers are welcome. Recommended for ages 16+. We encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start time.
$25 for Taft members, $35 for non-members. Registration is required at WomenWriting.org. Includes admission to special exhibitions and the museum's collection galleries located in the Taft historic house. Please note: the Taft cannot process refunds for this program.

Workshop | Fiber Art with Cynthia Lockhart
Saturday, March 8
12:30–3:30 p.m.
Fiber artist Cynthia Lockhart will guide you through a kaleidoscope of diverse techniques and fabrications as you create your very own one-of-a-kind decorative art design.
Lockhart is driven by inspiration and the passion to make innovative and expressive art. She is also fascinated with color, shape and texture. She uses color to capture emotional possibilities; shape—especially in curvilinear lines—to address the twists and turns of life; and texture to express diversity and unlimited possibilities.
In 2022, Cynthia Lockhart's quilt "Created to Be Me" was accepted in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC.
Must be 16+ to register for this event. $25 for members, $35 for non-members.
